Iftar Food Distribution

Lives Impacted:

Giving people the Iftar meal that they deserve

Humanity stepped in to feed the hungry this Ramadan season. Aster Volunteers organized an Iftar party at various old age homes and rehabilitation centres in Aluva, Kerala. Moreover, in Qatar, we distributed Iftar Kits among kids in traffic signals. In Oman and UAE, we distributed packs for employees in labour camps. We even visited a Madrasa in Andhra Pradesh along with Ramesh Hospital to distribute food packets and school bags.
