MAKKAH — Tarahum Makkah began implementing its project to distribute 30,000 iftar meals a day in the Grand Mosque.
Tarahum Makkah executive director Yahya Al-Kinani said they began their charity projects alongside their rehabilitation and developmental projects.
“Tarahum is a national committee for the care of inmates and released prisoners and their families. We have many projects for the month of Ramadan such as providing iftar meals for the people fasting, releasing private rights inmates with the aid of businessmen, paying bills and rent of families of inmates and released prisoners, supporting members of Productive Families that are also family members of inmates or released prisoners or a member of girls care association by providing kiosks for them at festivals and shopping centers,” said Al-Kinani.
He added the committee had 350 of its members work on the iftar meal project.
“The project will be running through the entire month of Ramadan and it was organized in cooperation with Midad Charity Organization and Al-Sharae Charity Organization. The project aims to instill the spirit of giving and human solidarity in society,” said Al-Kinani.
He added the project also aims to empower family members of inmates and released prisoners to become productive members of society.
“All of the members participating in the project have been trained and instructed on how to deal with visitors and pilgrims. The entire project is supervised and members are given financial incentives,” said Al-Kinani.
