Ramadhan Iftaar Appeal
The mobilization of feeding of the worldwide poor and destitute for the 24th successive year, alham’Allah in now under way. The goal is to provide basic supplemental iftaar needs of 14,844 poor families in 18 countries – Afghanistan, Rohingyas refugees in Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Chad, India, Iraq, Liberia, Kenya, Nepal, Niger, Mali, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Tanzania, Togo, and Yemen.
At an average cost of US$32 per food basket, that’s US$446,130 plus transportation and administration cost of US$25,000 – total of US$471,130 that CAI must raise within the next six weeks for all this to be logistically possible before the holy month sets in. A bit optimistic perhaps, but doable nevertheless insha’Allah. Remember, CAI aids the poor in some of the most remote, inhospitable and dangerous places of our world.
CAI is looking for your continued support and generosity as we contribute to this invaluable investment. Please either pledge or donate now. Allah bless.
