Ramadan Food Package for Poor Families

Ramadan is a blessed month for all the Muslims around the world. However, there are many countries affected by natural disasters or on going wars. Here people struggle to find their next meal. 

Bangladesh is one of the countries affected by natural disaster and Burmese Refugee crises. Here 31.5% of the population lives below the national poverty line. Even though Bangladesh's extreme poverty rate has dropped to 12.9 percent in 2015-16, according to a new estimate of the World Bank, even then this 12.9 percent accounts for approximately 20 million people.

At Syed Ahmed Shah Trust we try to ease the suffering of the people in many localities in Bangladesh where we work by providing food packages in the month of Ramadan.
