CAI will insha’Allah, our 17th year, distribute monthly iftaar rations to the poor and destitute, enabling these families to eat a healthy meal this Ramadhan. We have an ambitious schedule, feeding 7,000 families (about 42,000 individuals) in Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Haiti with a budget of US$171,000; this averages out to US$4.10 per person per month.
Alhamd’Allah, our affiliates and partners have already pledged US$36,000; I am confident, as in the past, we will put our hands together, meet and exceed this budget insha’Allah.
Please donate or pledge to feed a person, a family or several families now so we can commence this noble exercise in relative confort. Our aim is to have distributed all packages before the blessed month starts, to some communities that are in the remotest parts of the world, especially Afghanistan.
The breakdown of families per country is:
The rations will be made up of wheat flour, cooking oil, tea (Afghanistan) / beans, rice, sugar (Haiti), rice, sugar, cooking oil, daal pulses, tea (the rest).

Phanderi Sadaat Girls School Construction Begins
|
CAI has alhamd’Allah secured 75% financing for the rehabilitation of a girls school in the very poor district of Pandheri, Nagau Sadaat, a township of almost 100% poor sadaat families. The current school is in miserable condition, not making much progress towards a quality education for the students. CAI will insha’Allah duplicate her outstanding achievements in Sirsi to offer these children a fantastic opportunity for an education they can market. Total project cost is US$200,000.
