Misr El Kheir Foundation continues packing food boxes as part of its “Iftar Saem” (Breakfast for a Fasting Person) campaign for the fourteenth consecutive year, in preparation for distributing them to those in need throughout the holy month.

Dr. Hanan El-Derbashi, Head of the Social Solidarity Sector at Misr El Kheir Foundation, stated that the Iftar Saem campaign is not limited to providing food assistance only. It also aims to strengthen social solidarity and community support, while contributing to economic activity within society through cooperation with grassroots associations and direct engagement via Misr El Kheir offices spread across more than 15 governorates. This helps achieve comprehensive community development and fosters supportive bonds between donors and beneficiary families.

She explained that the Iftar Saem campaign is considered one of the largest organized Ramadan charitable initiatives in Egypt, targeting millions of fasting individuals across various governorates, especially the most underprivileged areas.

Dr. Hanan El-Derbashi added that the campaign includes several products that the foundation distributes to eligible beneficiaries according to its databases. The foundation also offers donors the option of personally delivering donations. Among the key initiatives are “Kartonet El-Kheir”, “Kartonet El-Satr”, “Sanad El-Eila” and “Kart El-Kheir”, in addition to food meals, the “Family Gathering Meal,” Ramadan iftar tents for a full month, combined iftar and suhoor tents for a month, and iftar and suhoor meals within Ramadan tents—now totaling 77 tents—as well as “Traveler’s Iftar,” “Village Iftar,” the “Kheirak Zad” vehicle, Zakat al-Fitr, and Eid clothing cards. These efforts contribute to comprehensive humanitarian and community development.

She affirmed that the success of Misr El Kheir Foundation is made possible through the support of success partners, the government, donors, and partner civil society organizations. The foundation aims this year to reach even more millions of fasting individuals.
