Global Ehsan Relief (GER) Sri Lanka plays a vital role in supporting communities during Ramadan by organizing Iftar meal distributions. These meals are provided to those in need, especially vulnerable groups such as orphans, widows, the elderly, and impoverished families, ensuring that they can break their fasts with dignity and nourishment.
Iftar, the meal to break the fast at sunset during Ramadan, holds significant religious and communal importance. GER Sri Lanka’s Iftar meal initiative ensures that no one in the community is left without a wholesome meal at the end of the fasting day. The meals typically include nutritious staples such as rice, bread, dates, and curries, tailored to local tastes and preferences.
By providing Iftar meals, GER not only addresses hunger but also fosters a sense of community and compassion. Volunteers and local community members often join hands in preparing and distributing the meals, creating an environment of solidarity and care. This project also extends to mosques, community centers, and homes of those unable to attend communal gatherings, ensuring wide-reaching support.
GER Sri Lanka’s commitment to Iftar meals is part of their broader mission to alleviate hunger, bring communities together, and promote the values of sharing and empathy during Ramadan. This initiative uplifts the spirits of families struggling with food insecurity and strengthens bonds within the community during the holy month.
