Appeal for Ramadan Food Package & Iftar Aid

For Bangladeshi Muslims and Rohingya Refugee Muslims

Ramadan is a month of mercy, fasting, and generosity. However, for millions of poor Bangladeshi Muslims and Rohingya refugee Muslims, Ramadan arrives with hardship, hunger, and uncertainty. Many vulnerable families are unable to arrange proper Iftar and are forced to break their fast with only drinking water, while others depend entirely on humanitarian support to survive.

To respond to this urgent humanitarian need, Mawlana Abdur Rashid Social Welfare Association (MARSA) launches its Ramadan Food Package and Iftar Aid Program, aiming to support the poorest fasting families during this blessed month.

The Reality on the Ground

🇧🇩 Poor Bangladeshi Muslims

Across rural villages and urban slums in Bangladesh:

 • Day laborers lose income during Ramadan

 • Widows, orphans, and elderly people struggle to afford food

 • Many families lack basic items for Sehri and Iftar

Without support, fasting becomes physically exhausting and unhealthy.

🏕 Rohingya Refugee Muslims

More than one million Rohingya Muslims live in refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar under extremely difficult conditions. During Ramadan:

 • Food rations are limited

 • Children suffer from malnutrition

 • Families have no means to prepare proper Iftar

They rely on the kindness of the global Muslim community.
