ACTNews, MALI - In the month of Ramadan, Aksi Cepat Tanggap (ACT), through
the Muslim World Solidarity for Humanity (SKDI) program continued to deliver
aid to the needy in various countries. One of them was Mali. On Saturday (5/2),
the distribution of Ramadan food packages took place in Niamana, Bamako. The
next day, Sunday (3/5), the food package distribution continued at Camp
Mambele, Bamako.
Widows and
orphans from poor families happily welcomed the team who brought the food
packages. They lined up on the field while maintaining their distance and
wearing masks to keep them safe amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
"We provided
this aid to mothers who are breadwinners of their families, orphans, and impoverished
families so that during Ramadan they will have some food for suhoor and iftar,"
explained Andi Noor Faradiba from Global Humanity Responses (GHR) - ACT. Faradiba
added that the food distribution benefitted 2,100 people.
The Ramadan food
packages reached not only Mali, but also to other countries affected by humanitarian
crises such as Palestine, Syria, Bangladesh (for the Rohingyas), and Turkey (for
the Uighurs). In addition to staple food packages, the food distribution in
Ramadan was also done in the form of iftar package distribution. []
