About India

Marginalised Muslim communities across India face significant poverty, discrimination, and limited access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. In states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, and Assam, many Muslim families live in urban slums or remote rural areas without basic sanitation, clean water, or reliable electricity. According to government data, Muslims remain among the most economically disadvantaged communities, with lower literacy rates and higher poverty levels than the national average. During Ramadan, many families struggle to provide even basic iftar meals, let alone maintain nutritional intake for growing children. Access to Islamic education varies widely, with many communities lacking properly equipped madrasahs or copies of the Quran. Our established Indian partner organisations identify and verify beneficiaries in their communities, delivering food packs, iftar meals, and educational materials to families in greatest need across several states.

Delivery Method: Distribution through established Indian partner organizations who identify and verify beneficiaries in their communities.

Why This Matters

A Ramadan food pack provides a complete month's supply of essential staples for an entire family. Each pack is carefully assembled to include culturally appropriate foods that sustain a family of 5-7 people throughout the blessed month.

What's Inside a Food Pack

  • Rice (10kg) — the staple carbohydrate
  • Flour (10kg) — for bread and chapatis
  • Cooking oil (5 litres)
  • Lentils and beans (5kg)
  • Sugar (2kg) and tea
  • Dates — for breaking the fast
  • Salt, spices, and tomato paste

Contents are adjusted by region to match local dietary needs. Packs in South Asia include different items than those in East Africa. Every pack is delivered Hand2Hand with photographic proof.

The Ripple Effect

When a family receives a food pack, the mother no longer needs to choose between feeding her children and paying for medicine. Children can focus on their studies rather than going hungry. The entire household can observe Ramadan with dignity.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward." (Tirmidhi)

During Ramadan, your food pack meant my family could focus on worship without worrying about food.
