Food Aid
One of the first projects we got involved in was to give food to hungry people. This is an issue which affects millions of starving people every day and something we take for granted.
As Muslims, we are encouraged to provide food to the hungry and there are numerous schemes which are ongoing to do that.
Our Iftar food programme runs throughout the blessed month of Ramadan providing cooked food to those who are fasting. This is a very satisfying project which benefits many deserving people.
