In April 2023, Hope and Action Foundation continued its tradition by distributing 100 food packets to residents of a slum in Batla House, New Delhi. These packages contained essential rations such as wheat, rice, and vegetable oils.
The Role of Zakat
The drive was funded through Zakat donations, an obligatory charity for Muslims, requiring 2.5% of annual savings to be given to those in need. This practice emphasizes feeding the hungry.
Organizational Mission
M. Behzad Fatmi, Secretary-General of Hope and Action Foundation, emphasized the organization’s commitment to supporting the underprivileged. “We strive to ensure that basic needs are met for those living in impoverished conditions. Our work supplements government efforts to reduce food inequality.”
