Qatar Charity has started distributing thousands of food parcels for people with special needs and families of orphans in four African countries as part of its Ramadan ‘Feed the Fasting’ project.

The latest effort comes amid QC’s ‘Ramadan of Hope’ drive to feed millions of people around the world during the holy month to help alleviate burdens facing vulnerable community.

“With the support of Qatar’s charitable community, Qatar Charity continues to implement its Ramadan campaign “Ramadan of Hope” projects in 32 countries around the world, including a number of African countries, where food baskets were distributed to poor families and the families of orphans,” QC said in a tweet.
