Program Overview
Guided by the Holy Quran’s call to charity and the generous example of Prophet Mohammed, Al Waasi Charity’s Iftar Distribution Program provides nutritious meals to fasting Muslims during Ramadan. Since our founding in 2018, we have worked to ensure that vulnerable families in Uganda’s Muslim communities can break their fast with dignity, fostering spiritual fulfillment and community solidarity.
