In a bid to further extend its support to the underprivileged during Ramadan, the Apportion Relief Foundation (ARF) launched a mobile Iftar initiative starting from the 10th of Ramadan 2023. This initiative aimed to provide nutritious Iftar meals directly to the doorsteps of those in need, especially in underserved areas and low-income communities.

Overview of the Mobile Iftar Initiative

ARF’s mobile Iftar service focused on reaching individuals who were unable to visit the main Iftar distribution points due to mobility constraints or living in remote areas. Through this initiative, over 100 households across various neighborhoods, including safety-poor areas, received nutritious meals right at their doorsteps. The meals were delivered via motorbikes, ensuring timely and efficient distribution to those in need.

Menu and Nutritional Quality

Each mobile Iftar package included the same nutritious and balanced meals that ARF provided at its main distribution sites. The menu typically consisted of dates, sharbat, samosas, rolls, fruit chaat, and Haleem as the main course. This ensured that participants not only broke their fast with a wholesome meal but also had the necessary energy and hydration to continue their day.

Impact and Community Engagement

The initiative was warmly welcomed by the local communities, particularly those who are often overlooked. By bringing Iftar to their homes, ARF ensured that no one was left behind during the holy month of Ramadan. The mobile Iftar service also created an opportunity for direct engagement with families, fostering a sense of community and support.

Conclusion

ARF’s mobile Iftar initiative, launched on the 10th of Ramadan 2023, exemplified the foundation’s commitment to ensuring that even the most vulnerable individuals had access to food during this holy month. By reaching over 100 households, the initiative not only provided essential nutrition but also reinforced the spirit of giving and unity in the community. This innovative approach underscored ARF's ongoing efforts to combat hunger and bring relief to the underprivileged during Ramadan.
