Every year, Ehsas Foundation strives to provide one million meals to those in dire need throughout the world by offering dry ration food packages as well as cooked meals.
Dry ration packages are given to poor families as well as survivors of disasters. Though the nature of food supplies vary based on the regions of distribution, a typical, dry ration package consists of flour, rice, lentils, dates, dry milk powder, sugar, tea, spices, oil, and soap. Each package is enough to feed a family of about 5 or 6 for a month.
Cooked meals are also prepared for feeding people who do not have easy cooking capabilities. One large pot of rice biryani can feed up to 40 people for only £30 (with chick peas or potatoes) or £40 (with meat).
In addition to the One Million Meals project, Ehsas Foundation also helps economically weak families who can not support their children or elderly for their food needs through other projects. For example; meat is given through Aqiqah, Sadaqah in the form of Sacrifice amd Qurbani; and dry ration is given through Fidya, Kaffara and Sadqat-Ul-Fitr.
