The project is being implemented as part of Qatar Charity’s ‘Ramadan of Hope’ drive.

In Sudan, 3760 food baskets have been distributed, while 5,600 baskets will be distributed during the remaining days of Ramadan. Some 40,000 people are expected to benefit from the project in the states of Khartoum, Gezira, the Nile River, Gedaref and Kassala in Sudan.

In Kenya, food baskets were distributed in 10 provinces of the country to benefit 1,755 needy families, aiming to help them meet their food needs in Ramadan. The families sponsored by Qatar Charity received the largest share of the food baskets.

In South Africa, 1,000 food baskets were distributed, benefiting 5,000 poor families including the families of orphans, on the outskirts of Cape Town and the Western Cape province.

In Ghana, Qatar Charity provided 8,750 packs of Iftar meals to several schools and mosques for ten consecutive days in the Ashanti Region.
