 Lagos, Nigeria (IINA) - Aiming to promote spirits of brotherhood during the holy month of Ramadan, a group of Islamic charity organizations have planned to fight hunger in the South Eastern states of Nigeria by providing free Iftar meals to thousands of people, news agencies reported.
“It is planned to facilitate genuine love and true spirit of brotherhood in Islam among Muslims of all walks of life and to foster unity through the instrumentality of Ramadan fast cum Iftar,” Zakat and Sadaqat Foundation (ZSF) Executive Director/Chief Executive officer Imam Abdullahi Shuaib said.
Aiming to foster unity in the society, Imam Shuaib noted that some of their programs include Public lectures/seminars, distribution of food items, beverages, groundnut oils, sugar and milks.
These services would be offered to individuals, orphanage homes, physically challenged people and prison yards.
A faith-based non-governmental organization, the ZSF head office in Lagos state and its plan this year is to increase the number of Iftar beneficiaries to up to 35,000 citizens including non-Muslims.
Along with helping the poor, ZSF aimed at providing a window for wealthy people to earn Allah's blessings by assisting the needy to maximize reward in the holy month.
Working to improve people’s life in Nigeria, the Ramadan Iftar program will extend to Federal Capital Territory, Edo, Delta, Kwara and Niger states.
