The Mohammed V Foundation of Morocco, the humanitarian organisation of the King of Morocco, has donated ‘Ramadan Food Package’ and cash to a number of vulnerable groups in Accra to support them observe the month-long Ramadan fast expected to begin on Tuesday.
The Executive Chairman of Islamic Council for Development and Humanitarian Services (ICODEH), Sheikh Mustapha Ibrahim, on behalf of the foundation, presented the package made up of bags of rice, cooking oil, sugar, milk, and tomato paste to the needy yesterday.
He urged the wealthy in society to extend support to the needy to enable them to observe the Ramadan fast without difficulty, adding that ICODEH targets at least 1,500 families to provide them with food packages.
Sheikh Ibrahim expressed gratitude to the foundation and the King of Morocco for his consistency over the years in supporting the Muslim community with food items and other livelihood support projects for the needy as part of its social intervention.
The ICODEH, a humanitarian non-governmental organisation, in partnership with its local and international partners, has been supporting needy and vulnerable Muslim communities with interventions to enable them to live a dignified life.
Muslims across the world are expected to begin this year’s Ramadan fast on Tuesday, depending on the sighting of the moon.
Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam, and Muslims who are sound and healthy observe the month-long spiritual cleansing ritual by abstaining from food, drink, and sexual activity from dawn to dusk, during which they seek the blessings and mercies of Allah.
