Saudi Arabia to Launch Iftar Program in 61 Countries During Ramadan
The initiative aims to provide meals to over one million people worldwide.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Islamic Affairs has announced the launch of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Program for Iftar, set to commence during the upcoming holy month of Ramadan.
This initiative will be implemented through religious attachés at Saudi embassies across 61 countries, aiming to provide iftar meals to more than one million individuals globally.
Minister of Islamic Affairs Sheikh Abdullatif Al-Asheikh expressed gratitude to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their continued support of global aid efforts, particularly those serving Islam and Muslims during Ramadan.
He noted that the ministry, in coordination with religious attachés and cultural centers, has allocated the necessary funds to ensure the successful execution of the iftar program.
In previous years, similar initiatives have been undertaken.
During Ramadan in 2024, the ministry implemented the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' gift program, distributing dates in 93 countries and organizing iftar banquets in 60 nations.
These efforts were coordinated with Saudi embassies and local Islamic centers to reach those in need.
The 2025 program continues this tradition, expanding its reach to additional countries and increasing the number of beneficiaries.
The ministry emphasizes that these initiatives reflect Saudi Arabia's commitment to supporting Muslims worldwide and fostering a sense of community during the holy month.
Preparations for the program are underway, with logistical arrangements being coordinated to ensure timely delivery of meals.
The ministry is also collaborating with local organizations in each country to facilitate the distribution process and ensure that the meals meet cultural and dietary preferences.
This year's iftar program is part of a broader effort by Saudi Arabia to enhance its humanitarian outreach and strengthen ties with Muslim communities around the world during Ramadan.
