As millions of people around the world come together with their families to break their fasts during Ramazan, many others face the harsh reality of food insecurity. For countless individuals, the struggle to put food on the table continues even during this sacred month, when generosity and compassion are at the heart of the community.
To bridge this gap and ensure that no family goes hungry, MTJ Foundation has been conducting monthly ration drives to provide food assistance to underprivileged communities. However, during Ramazan, the foundation goes a step further, adding special essential items to its ration packs to help families observe the holy month with dignity.
Since its establishment in 2019, MTJ Foundation has been running this special Ramazan Ration Drive, ensuring that families facing economic hardships do not have to worry about their iftar and suhoor.
This year, the foundation has extended its efforts, reaching multiple underprivileged areas across Punjab, where food insecurity remains a pressing issue.
Through this initiative, ration packs filled with essential food items are being distributed to families in dire need. Each pack is thoughtfully curated to sustain a family throughout Ramazan, offering nutritional support and dignity to those struggling to make ends meet.
The Ramazan food package includes:
● Flour (20 KG)
● Ghee (5 KG)
● Sugar (4 KG)
● Rice (4 KG)
● Black Chickpeas (1 KG)
● Lentils (Masoor) (2 KG)
● Gram Flour (1 KG)
● Vermicelli (2 Packs) (for traditional Ramadan desserts)
● Tea (1 Pack)
● Dates (1 KG) (a staple for breaking fasts)
● Jam-e-Sheerin (1 Bottle) (to provide a refreshing drink for iftar)
By including special Ramazan items like vermicelli, tea, dates, and Jam-e-Sheerin, MTJ Foundation ensures that families can observe the spiritual traditions of the month while receiving the nourishment they need.
The distribution drive has covered multiple underprivileged areas across Punjab, reaching widows, orphans, daily wage earners, and other vulnerable individuals who otherwise may not have access to sufficient food.
The impact of this initiative is made possible through the generosity of donors, whose collective support allows thousands of families to receive vital food assistance.
Ramazan is a time of compassion, community, and giving, and this ration drive embodies the true spirit of the holy month—ensuring that those in need do not have to face iftar on an empty stomach.
MTJ Foundation remains dedicated to uplifting struggling communities and continues to expand its efforts in providing relief to those who need it the most. Those looking to be part of this life-changing initiative can find more details here.
Since 2019, the foundation has stood by those in need—and with continued support, it will keep doing so in the years to come.
