The General Administration of Endowments at the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (Awqaf) will distribute food kits to more than 4,000 families during Ramadan.
The initiative is implemented in co-operation with Hifz Alnaema Centre. This was announced during a press conference that was attended by the director general of the General Administration of Endowments Dr Sheikh Khalid bin Mohamed bin Ghanem al-Thani, Hifz Alnaema Centre executive director Ali Ayed al-Qahtani and several directors and section heads in the department.
Al-Thani said the initiative is one of the pioneering schemes by the department and it has been functional since the beginning of Covid-19 to distribute food kits to needy families. “We announce the continuation of the initiatives that will benefit a large group of needy families."
Al-Qahtani expressed his thanks to the General Administration of Endowments for implementing the project and co-operating with the centre. He urged the benefactors to take part in the initiative and contribute to this charity through various endowment methods.
The initiative has had a good impact on the beneficiaries, in addition to many praises from those interested and following community affairs. The initiative is aimed at promoting the culture of giving and spreading the spirit of compassion among the different segments of society, and sharing giving with needy families during Ramadan, which is the month of giving.
