As part of the Muslim Empowerment Fund’s (MEF) National Outreach programme, this Ramadan, Darul Ihsan initiated an on-going food and empowerment programme in the Eastern Cape. The Council of Ulama based in Port Elizabeth, under the leadership of Maulana Junaid Adam - the current Ameer, coordinated the distribution of food hampers to the poor and needy.
Over 450 families benefitted from this year’s Ramadan programme.
In addition to this programme a consignment of new clothes was dispatched to the Council for distribution to deserving individuals for the purpose of empowerment.
It is hoped that the MEF will facilitate more National Outreach programmes in the future.
