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.

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).
