Alahamdo Liallal, every year, Friends Of Humanity International, through its overseas collaborators, distributes Ramadan Food Ration packages. These packages contain adequate Ramadan Iftar and Sahoor basic food supplies including rice, flour, beans, sugar, tea & coffee, oils, dry milk, pasta and other items, to last a full month for a family of five.
Additionally, we try to include Eid gifts for the children.
This year we are working with our overseas friends in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kashmir, Lebanon, India, and Pakistan to get the food baskets in the hands of the needy families before the Ramadan starts.
With the help of our valued donors and well wishers we have raised app $33,000.
As planned we were able to remit funds to all of our partners to distribute Ramadan Ration in the first week of Ramadan to families in need so they can fast. All of our partners made sincere efforts to help their communities. We added a new partner ” Mohammadpur Milan Ekadash” ( MME) in west Bengal, India. We learned a lot about MME in our vetting process. MME is located 140 miles of Calcutta, a small Muslim village faced with poverty, unemployment compounded by hateful political campaign of BJP against Indian Muslims. FHII contributed $3,000 for the distribution of 250 bags of Ramadan Ration.
We are now working with seven global partners, Alhamdulillah.
This is a banner year for FHII, our partner Islamic Relief contacted us to distribute 250 boxes of Ramadan Ration to South Florida Muslim community. FHII team led by Br, Yunus Isamil ( who despite the recent knee replacement surgery and pain ) received the shipment at Masjid Muttaaqqeen. Boxes are being distributed to needy in our community.
Ramadan Iftar hosted by Mayor city of Miramar in collaboration with local Muslim organizations was held at the Miramar city hall. Mayor Neesam, local civic, political and religious leaders attended the event and recognized the growing partnership between Muslims and people of all races, color and creed. A special recognition to sister Naima Khan – Ghany and MSA, true ambassadors of Islam.
2500 Ramadan Iftar meals were sponsored for Homelss community by one of our valued donor. SubhamnAllah. Meals are being served at Miami Rescue Mission facility in Miami.
