Under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak, more than 23,000 Iftar meals were served in Al Ain, promoting a sense of unity and generosity during Ramadan. The event, which was themed “Bring Your Iftar to Us,” was a huge success, with over 28,000 people coming together to break their fast in a shared and celebratory atmosphere.
The event was crafted to foster inclusivity, and individuals from various backgrounds were invited to experience the blessings of Ramadan. Community groups and volunteers took immense efforts to ensure the effortless delivery of food, in accordance with the country’s rich humanitarian values. Be it traditional Emirati fare or healthy food suitable for a range of diets, the event made sure everyone was treated to a satisfying Iftar experience.
Aside from meal distribution, the event was also used as a means to foster social bonding and acts of kindness. Families, workers, and people from all sectors of society united to share a meal, creating a sense of compassion and oneness. Religious scholars also preached messages of peace and thankfulness, emphasizing the importance of giving during the holy month.
Given that the UAE has always been at the forefront of effective charity work, Sheikha Fatima’s support for this activity only goes to further reinforce the nation’s commitment to service for the greater good. The effectiveness of “Bring Your Iftar to Us” not only emphasizes the value of communal action but also makes it an example to follow for subsequent Ramadan projects that aim for inclusiveness and support for the needy.
