A humanitarian organisation, Mercy to the World, has intensified its Ramadan feeding campaign with a target to provide meals to 25,150 people observing Ramadan during the holy month.
Under its flagship initiative, Meals of Mercy, the organisation has already served 8,337 beneficiaries out of a projected 20,100 as of February 24, 2026.
In addition, the group’s Family Iftar programme has so far supported 860 people out of a planned 5,050 beneficiaries scheduled for distribution in Kumasi within the Ashanti Region.
The Ramadan intervention targets a wide range of beneficiaries including children, adults, school students, and other persons observing the fast, helping reduce the feeding burden many households face during the sacred period.
Distribution teams have been visiting mosques and senior high schools to ensure students observing the fast are not left out. Schools already reached include Uthmania Senior High School and Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School, where meals were delivered directly to fasting students.
Beyond institutional outreach, the team is also supplying meals along major streets, allowing workers, traders, and passers-by observing the fast to easily access Iftar meals at sunset.
The entire Ramadan feeding exercise is fully sponsored by the international humanitarian organisation Muslim Aid Australia International, whose support has enabled the programme to reach thousands of beneficiaries this year.
Director of Mercy to the World, Kamaldeen Yakubu Zahrrah, said the project is designed to ensure that people observing Ramadan are able to fast with dignity and without worrying about how to break their fast.
“This programme is about compassion and shared humanity. Ramadan is a sacred period, and we want every person observing the fast to be able to break it with a proper meal,” he stated.
He added many families and individuals struggle to secure consistent meals during this period are being helped to reduce that burden. “Through this intervention, we are helping reduce that burden and ensuring that no one observing Ramadan is left behind.”
Kamaldeen further noted that the organisation will continue expanding distributions to more communities, schools, mosques and public locations throughout the fasting period.
“With the full sponsorship from our partners, we are determined to reach as many people as possible before the end of Ramadan,” he said.
