Who would have thought that in the interior of Malau, Jitra, Kedah, there is a village where almost all the residents there are indigent and some of them are very poor. More than 80 families are living there who on average that only have a small income.

In celebrating the coming month of Ramadan, this is the thing most awaited by the residents here. In order to share our sustenance with the residents here, we launched the Ramadan and Eid Fitr Food Basket campaigns targeting all 80 underprivileged families here.

Among the items in the Food Basket are dry cooking items that can reduce their burden during the month of Ramadan that they can cook and serve a warm meal and healthy food for their family during this fasting month. While the items in the Food Basket for Hari Raya are common dishes that serve on Hari Raya. So that, they can have nice food in the morning on Eid Fitr.

This campaign is the first campaign launch for the resident here with the purpose of this campaign is the residents of this village can celebrate Ramadan this time with adequacy and can celebrate Eidil Fitr without feeling lacking. We welcome all communities in Malaysia especially, in particular, to contribute and donate so that this campaign can be implemented successfully. We also hope that this campaign can give a little joy to the residents of this village.

The Prophet ﷺ said, “The upper hand is better than the lower hand (i.e. he who gives in charity is better than he who takes it). One should begin by giving to his dependents. And the best sadaqah is that which is given by a wealthy person (from the money which is left over after his expenses). And whoever abstains from asking others for some financial help, Allah will provide for him and save him from asking others; Allah will make him self-sufficient.” [Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]
