THE FOOD PACKAGES PROJECT DURING RAMADAN
Ramadan is a month of self-purification for every Muslim, when
he purifies his body and the soul .It is also a month to fulfill the desire to do
good and be generous, and to reflect the brotherhood of man in the material life.
This support comes as a great source of comfort to the poor, the sick and the needy
.It helps to alleviate poverty and establishes a form of social security. This is
done through various projects: * Food packages: The distribution of food packages
during the month of Ramadan among needy people which include sugar, rice, oil, tea,
dates, cheese and other food supplies in accordance to the prophet's instructions:
"He who feeds a believer after a hunger, God shall feed him from the fruits of heaven.
And he who waters a believer after a thirst, God shall water him on the Day of Judgment.
And he who clothes a believer, God shall clothe him from heaven". * Collective fast
breaking meals: The association invites poor and needy people to fast breaking meals
in public places like mosques. Holiday gifts: The association delivers the sponsors'
gifts to the orphans before the holiday which gives them the opportunity to breathe
freely and tread in air. In last year, the association distributed more than 5000
food packages among the needy families in the West Bank and in the Strip.
