Unity in Faith: West Bengal's Jashn-e-Milad

7th October 2022, Kolkata

The global COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with a deteriorating economic landscape, has inflicted severe hardship on the most vulnerable among us, plunging them deeper into the depths of extreme poverty. Families that once relied on informal daily wages found themselves in dire circumstances, grappling with heightened levels of food insecurity. In the face of this crisis, Minhaj Interfaith & Welfare Foundation (MIWF) has unwaveringly committed to providing sustenance to those in need.

MIWF's approach is both compassionate and practical. Through collaboration with local Imams and dedicated volunteer teams working diligently on the ground, the foundation has been able to identify the most vulnerable families in various regions. This grassroots approach ensures that assistance reaches those who need it most, offering a lifeline during these challenging times.

Thanks to the generous support of compassionate donors, MIWF achieved a significant milestone by completing Phase-1 of the Ramadan Helpfeed project. During this phase, the foundation distributed essential ration packets to a total of 861 needy families across several locations, including Bhuj, Mysuru, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Prayagraj, Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane.

These ration packets not only provided vital sustenance but also conveyed a powerful message of solidarity and care to families facing severe food insecurity. MIWF's commitment to alleviating the suffering of the less fortunate exemplifies the values of empathy and selflessness, offering a glimmer of hope in these trying times. Amidst the global challenges posed by the pandemic and economic hardships, MIWF's tireless efforts remind us of the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for collective action in creating a more compassionate and equitable world.
