Bayat Foundation on Sunday distributed much needed food aid to hundreds of needy families in Kabul in order to assist them through the holy month of Ramazan.

Officials from the foundation said that the donations include flour, rice and oil, and that the campaign will continue until the end of Ramazan. The officials added that they plan to distribute aid to other provinces across the country.

“In continuation of Bayat Foundation’s campaigns, and because of the holy month of Ramazan, we distribute this type of aid every year,” said Haji Mohammad Ismail, deputy head of Bayat Foundation.

“Fortunately, today in the city of Kabul, we are distributing a quantity of food, which includes flour, oil and rice, to a number of deserving people,” he added.

“Bayat Foundation’s assistance continues in Kabul and in other provinces of the country.”

These food packages were distributed to those who were identified as needy people in a survey.

The needy families meanwhile have thanked Bayat Foundation and in turn called on other organizations to also step forward and help those in need.

“We would like to thank the Bayat Foundation for helping poor people in this month of Ramazan,” said one recipient.

“Inshallah, may God give them success and rewards to help more poor people of Afghanistan,” said another recipient.

Since its establishment, Bayat Foundation has continued to help the people of Afghanistan.

In addition to providing humanitarian relief to needy people during the harsh winter months, the foundation also provides food parcels during Ramazan each year.

Among a long list of humanitarian projects the foundation undertakes, the organization also assists in times of disaster where it provides both emergency medical care and relief to victims of natural disasters such as floods, avalanches and earthquakes.
