SEASONAL PROJECTS
HOPE Charity Sri Lanka engages in projects that occur the same time every year in all the areas of activity. The importance of these projects is the local origin of the idea behind them which HOPE Charity is present and this offers a personal mental reinforcement to the importance that resides in the need of the beneficiaries for such help like Iftars during Ramadan and Eid projects.
We provide food packs to the needy families that would last at least a month in situations of emergency. Where possible, we also continuously assist the very needy families who may not be able to afford to have a meal in their home.
Due to your generosity, we are able to feed hundreds of families during emergencies in different parts of the Sri Lanka every year.
Ramadan Packs / Fidya and Fitra Ramadan is the month of Fasting and Charity and it is the month when we as Muslims give the most. We provide needy Muslims with food packs so that they may have a pleasant fasting month. This package contains flour, rice, sugar, and tea, dhal, cooking oil, Juice cordials, dates and other eating items. It can feed an entire family for the whole month.
We also utilize Fidya and Fitra to provide hundreds of families with food or food packs in Ramadan and prior to ‘Eid. We also do iftar to feed the poor and needy through our sponsors.
Eid-ul-Adha is the second of the Eid celebrations and celebrated on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah
It is highly recommended and encouraged that you should do your Qurbani yourself where you live. Sacrificing the animal, yourself ensures you follow the Sunnah and remember the real occasion and significance of the sacrifice.
However, there are countries where it is not possible to do the sacrifice and people send their money overseas for such purpose. There are also many who do the sacrifice from the same household so they prefer to do some of this for the poor and needy people in other countries. And there are people who wish to do more than one sacrifice so that they can assist the poor people on this occasion.
Every year, your Qurbani donations help provide quality meals to hundreds of families in need and living in poverty. Some of these families cannot afford meat and this is the only time in the year when they get some meat to enjoy with their families.
