As partof its annual humanitarian efforts during the holy month, the Malaysian Relief Agency (MRA) carried out a Ramadan Food Basket Distribution project in Sudan on the 19^th & 20^th March 2025 ,  it aimed at supporting vulnerable communities during this spiritually significant time. It was held in River Nile State and Northern State in Sudan with an allocated budget of USD 5,000.

Uplifting Lives in a Time of Need

This project was initiated with two main objectives:

• To support vulnerable families during Ramadan with essential food supplies.
• To ease the financial burden and enable families to fast with dignity.

With food prices in Sudan surging due to prolonged economic challenges, many families face tremendous hardship in securing even the most basic necessities. Recognizing this, MRA stepped in to provide timely relief.

Reaching 100 Families, Touching 500 Lives

Over the course of Ramadan, the project successfully delivered food baskets to 100 families across River Nile State and Northern State. With an estimated average of five individuals per household, the initiative benefited approximately 500 individuals, providing much-needed nourishment during Iftar and Suhoor.

The beneficiaries included widows, elderly individuals, and low-income families—groups that are often hardest hit in times of crisis. Each food basket was thoughtfully curated to include essential items such as rice, flour, lentils, sugar, cooking oil, and dates, ensuring both sustenance and comfort during the fasting period.

Restoring Hope and Dignity

This effort not only brought food to the tables of those in need but also rekindled hope and solidarity during one of the most sacred times of the year. By alleviating financial stress and offering support, MRA helped ensure that these families could observe Ramadan with dignity.

MRA extends its heartfelt thanks to all donors and partners who made this initiative possible. Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.
