The Iftar Tent of the Ministry of Endowment (Awqaf) Islamic Affairs in Al Khor is going ahead with a huge turnout. The total number of beneficiaries has increased to 36,000 throughout the holy month, as it provided Iftar meals to approximately 1,200 people, the Awqaf said in a statement.
The meals are provided as part of the “Iftar Sa’eem” project, one of the most important Endowment initiatives aimed at providing food to the fasting people while fostering social solidarity. The Awqaf provides 300,000 Iftar meals at various locations during Ramadan.
The project represents a model of integrated philanthropy, as it extends beyond providing food to spreading the correct Islamic culture among workers and instilling the values of mercy and social solidarity.
This project provides a great opportunity to guide fasting people towards an understanding of moderate Islam and to build a cohesive community characterized by cooperation and love in a faith-based atmosphere filled with the spirit of the holy month.
