Ramadan is a month of reflection, patience, and shared generosity. Many families across the world enter this time with uncertainty about their next meal. Blackstone’s Feed the Fasting campaign focuses on food packs helping households complete the month with dignity. Cooked iftar meals support those who need ready to eat food each evening. Both allow families to focus on worship and community without the daily worry of how they will prepare their meals.
Ramadan places additional pressure on families whose income is already fragile. Food prices rise. Work becomes inconsistent. Households living on the edge struggle to prepare daily meals while trying to observe their fast. Supporting a family during Ramadan brings reassurance to parents and stability to children. It also creates a shared act of care for people who live through hardship throughout the year.

Families depend on non perishable staple foods that last through the month and allow them to prepare meals at home. Each pack contains a balanced selection of ingredients that meet local dietary needs. Items may change depending on availability, although the overall value and nutritional balance will remain the same.

Food packs help families prepare meals in temporary shelters or damaged homes. They reduce reliance on costly local markets and provide a sense of routine during a difficult period.
Food packs support low income households in Bangladesh who cannot rely on steady work. They provide enough staples for families to prepare suhoor and iftar without worrying about the following day.
Some families cannot cook at home due to displacement, illness, lack of facilities, or severe financial hardship. Cooked iftar meals provide direct support so people can open their fast with a nourishing plate of food.
Crowded shelters and damaged homes make cooking difficult. A prepared meal at sunset brings relief and allows families to open their fast with some peace and dignity. Local partners distribute meals through organised community cooking points.
In Bangladesh, cooked meals support vulnerable households, including daily labourers who return home late and exhausted. Evening distributions help communities come together and ensure no one opens their fast alone.
Providing food to someone who is fasting carries deep spiritual reward and offers dignity to the person receiving the meal. Ramadan is a time when generosity strengthens communities and brings hope to families facing long term hardship. Each contribution helps someone complete their fast with nourishment and reassurance.
Blackstone works with trusted partners in Gaza and Bangladesh. Distribution lists are verified to ensure support reaches those most in need. Monitoring includes receipts, delivery confirmation, and accurate reporting from field teams. Photographic records may be used where appropriate and safe. Nutritional value and quantity remain consistent even when substitutions are required. All funds are used for the purpose intended.
Your support helps families approach Ramadan with dignity and stability. It brings relief to those affected by conflict, poverty, and unpredictable income. Each food pack and each cooked meal becomes a meaningful act of care that supports families throughout the month.
