As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, Sharjah Charity International has announced an ambitious humanitarian initiative aimed at providing 1.2 million Iftar meals to those in need across the UAE and beyond.
This large-scale campaign reflects the organization’s ongoing commitment to supporting low-income families, laborers, and vulnerable communities during one of the most spiritually significant times of the year. Ramadan is not only a period of fasting and prayer, but also a time of generosity, compassion, and social responsibility.
Supporting Communities When It Matters Most
For many families, putting food on the table at sunset can be a daily struggle. Through this initiative, Sharjah Charity International plans to distribute freshly prepared meals at labor accommodations, mosques, community centers, and designated public areas. The program also extends to several countries where food insecurity remains a major challenge.
Volunteers and partners will work together to ensure meals are delivered safely, respectfully, and efficiently, reaching those who need support the most.
A Tradition of Giving
Sharjah Charity International has a long history of Ramadan relief efforts, including food parcels, Zakat distribution, healthcare assistance, and sponsorship programs for orphans and struggling households. Each year, the organization scales up its activities to match rising needs and population growth.
The goal of 1.2 million meals marks one of the largest Ramadan campaigns in its history, highlighting both the increasing demand for humanitarian support and the generosity of donors who make such initiatives possible.
How the Public Can Participate
The charity has opened multiple donation channels for individuals, businesses, and organizations to contribute to the Iftar meal program. Contributions can sponsor a single meal, a full day of meals at a distribution site, or ongoing food support throughout the month.
Volunteering opportunities are also available for those who wish to take part in meal packing and distribution.
Spreading Hope Beyond the Table
Beyond providing food, the campaign aims to restore dignity, ease financial burdens, and strengthen community bonds. For many beneficiaries, a simple Iftar meal represents comfort, relief, and the feeling that they are not forgotten.
As Ramadan draws closer, Sharjah Charity International’s initiative stands as a powerful reminder of how collective compassion can make a meaningful difference in millions of lives.
