Our food distribution programs are designed to alleviate hunger and food insecurity some of South Africa’s most deserving communities. We understand that access to nutritious food is a basic human right and strive to ensure that everyone has access to the food they need for their lives. We work closely with sponsors, donors, volunteers, local organizations to provide food hampers to those in need. These hampers include a variety of items such as rice, beans, maize meal, and canned goods and other household necessities as guided by nutritionists and experts.

Our food distribution programs have a significant impact on individuals and communities, both in terms of improving access to nutritious food and reducing food insecurity. Some of the recorded impacts include:

• Improving nutrition and health: we provide access to nutritious food, which helps to improve overall health of beneficiaries and ensures those with chronic diseases can constantly take their medications.
• Reducing food insecurity: our food distribution program provides basic needs to those struggling to make ends meet. We help reduce the number of people who are food insecure and contribute effectively to the healthy upbringing of children.
• Building community: we bring people together and strengthen community bond, by creating a sense of shared responsibility for ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious food. We understand that hunger is a complex issue, associated with compassion and emotions. That is why we take a holistic approach towards food distribution programs, ensuring that food is distributed with dignity and respect as encouraged by the Quran and Sunnah. To do this, we implement a strict distribution policy and that is:
• Providing enough food: Our program ensures that every recipient receives enough food to meet their needs for a given period. We also ensure that recipients receive food that they are accustomed to.
  Providing the food in a respectful manner: The Sunnah teaches us to treat others with respect and dignity, including in the distribution of food. Our program should ensure that the food is handed out in a respectful manner, without any discrimination or prejudice.
• Maintaining privacy and modesty: The Quran and Sunnah place a high value on privacy and modesty. Our program ensure that recipients are able to receive their food in a private and modest manner that preserves recipient’s self-esteem and sense of dignity. Where necessary, food packs are distributed in honorably mass gatherings. Offering food with kindness: The Sunnah encourages us to be kind and compassionate when giving to others, including when providing food aid. Our program should ensure that the food is offered with kindness and compassion, making the recipients feel valued and appreciated.
