Global Ehsan Relief (GER) Sri Lanka has been organizing Mass Iftar events, a remarkable initiative during Ramadan that brings together communities in need to share a meal and break their fast. These Iftar events, which take place across various regions, provide an essential service to underprivileged families, orphans, and those facing food insecurity. In the true spirit of Ramadan, GER aims to ensure that no one goes hungry and that everyone can enjoy a wholesome Iftar meal at the end of a day of fasting.
The Mass Iftar events organized by GER Sri Lanka are not only about providing food but also about fostering a sense of unity and belonging. During these gatherings, individuals from all walks of life come together to break their fast, strengthening the bonds of community and promoting a spirit of togetherness. GER’s team, along with local volunteers, ensures that these events are well-coordinated, hygienic, and accessible to as many people as possible, especially in regions where poverty and hunger are more prevalent.
The Iftar meals provided by GER Sri Lanka are carefully planned to include nutritious and traditional dishes, offering a balanced mix of fruits, dates, rice, curries, and sometimes even porridge, all prepared to cater to the dietary needs after fasting. The organization works closely with local suppliers and volunteers to prepare and distribute these meals efficiently.
In addition to addressing immediate hunger, GER’s Mass Iftar events serve as an important reminder of the values of compassion, charity, and empathy that define the holy month of Ramadan. By providing these meals, GER Sri Lanka enables struggling families to focus on their spiritual practices without the worry of sourcing food. The initiative not only alleviates hunger but also reinforces the message of unity, care, and support for one another, ensuring that the true essence of Ramadan is realized in every community they serve.
