Rations Secured for 300 families
Wednesday, April 22, 2020
As of now, we have pretty much secured the ration for atleast 300 households Alhamdolillah, which will last for a month
It is a difficult terrain since we are trying to reach far flung areas in order to find the most poor (poverty is quite widespread, but we aim to extend the opportunity to the poorest of the poor, in sha Allah)
We can have the particulars of recipients but sharing them for 300+ households jn this group will be overwhelming for many 🙂
We intend to extend the ration to those that are disabled; widows; old age and the likes of thatView
