WMO Middle East Chapter epitomises the values of Giving

In the Ramadan of 2015, the World Memon Organisation, Middle East Chapter started serving Iftar meals for the entire duration of the holy month. An Iftar camp was set up in Dubai and 37,500 Muslim brothers were provided meals for 30 days as they gathered together, under one roof to break their fast.

These brothers were mostly poor migrant workers employed in the bustling Middle East construction industry. They toil laboriously throughout the day, without food and water, building skyscrapers that will soon adorn the Dubai skyline whilst religiously fasting under the hot desert sun.

Since then the Ramadan Iftar Camp has become an annual feature on the WMO Middle East. In 2019 we intend to cross the 100,000 mark at the 3 camps. We expect record crowds with a daily consumption of more than 3500 meals at each camp.

Unfortunately, due to the Corona pandemic, Iftar camps were not organized in 2020-21 but the humanitarian Ramadan tradition continued unabated in the form of Iftar Meal Boxes. These meal boxes were duly delivered at construction sites and labour camps so that no brother goes hungry after a long day’s toil under the hot sun.

“We implore you to delve deep into the bountiful spirit of giving and brotherhood during the blessed month, contribute towards the admirable cause of the Ramadan Iftar Camp and join us on the Arabian coast as we unite to break bread with our brethren in Dubai.”
