Mansehra / Cholistan:
In the holy month of Ramadan, Al Mustafa Welfare Trust has organised large-scale Sehar and Iftar arrangements across multiple cities of Pakistan, providing free meals to thousands of deserving individuals every day.
In Lahore, daily Iftar is being served at Al Mustafa Dastarkhwan (84/10 Mozang Road – Head Office), Abid Market, Shaukat Khanum Chowk, Pakistan Association of the Blinds (Allama Iqbal Road, Garhi Shahu), and at Maa Ghar (orphanage). Hundreds of labourers, patients’ attendants, commuters, and underprivileged families benefit from these facilities.
In Islamabad, Iftar is arranged at Children Gate, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), where attendants of patients and daily wage workers gather in large numbers. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, free meals are also being provided at Almustafa Hospital in Dhodiyal, Mansehra.
Similarly, in South Punjab, Iftar arrangements are ongoing at Almustafa Community Centre in Ahmad Pur Sharqya, Bahawalpur, as well as in remote areas of Cholistan where access to food remains a serious challenge.
Outdoor teams of Al Mustafa are also organising Iftar in Bagh (Azad Kashmir) and Naran in Kaghan Valley this week, ensuring that support reaches even remote and mountainous regions.
According to a spokesperson for the Trust, rising inflation and widespread poverty in Pakistan have made it increasingly difficult for many families to manage Sehar and Iftar during Ramadan. “Thousands of people rely on community support to break their fast with dignity,” the spokesperson said.
Al Mustafa Welfare Trust has appealed to donors in the UK and around the world to extend their generous support so that this vital Ramadan initiative can be expanded to more cities and rural areas. The organisation emphasised that every donation can help provide food, dignity, and relief to those struggling in these challenging economic times.
As Ramadan continues, the Trust aims to scale up its efforts — ensuring that no one is left without Sehar or Iftar.
