Sunni Endowments Council chairman Dr Shaikh Rashid Al Hajri emphasised that the council has implemented several charitable projects during the holy month of Ramadan as part of its mission to promote the values of social solidarity.
He explained that among the most prominent initiatives is the Food Aid project targeting 200 families, providing vouchers for basic food items from a commercial outlet. Additionally, the Ramadan Banquets (Family Iftar) project benefits 600 families through food vouchers to help meet their needs during the holy month.
Regarding bringing joy to children, he noted that the Eid Al Fitr Clothing project targets 1,000 children by providing clothing vouchers for each family from a commercial outlet.
He added that the directorate also implemented the Iftar Sa’em project (for expatriate communities), benefiting 2,000 fasting individuals daily, in cooperation with community centres to prepare iftar tables.
Dr Shaikh Al Hajri also noted the implementation of the “Maa’ Sabeel” project, which involves the distribution of approximately one million water bottles (nearly 40,000 cartons) to mosques across the kingdom throughout Ramadhan.
He highlighted the community partnership project with charitable societies, which included support for 10 charitable entities to support their Ramadan projects and diversify charitable initiatives, contributing to integration and community partnership.
