About the Ramadan Food Parcel Donation: A Month of Blessing for a Family
A Ramadan food parcel donation is the most direct way to bring basic food to the Ramadan table of a family in a crisis region.
At Austria Yetim Eli, a Ramadan food parcel costs 40 €.
Why is a Ramadan food parcel so important?
In regions such as Sudan, Palestine and Yemen, for many families Ramadan is spent worrying about what to put on the table.
A food parcel brings together the basic dry foods a family needs to prepare Iftar and Suhoor.
Food parcels are handed over in person to those in need.
Who receives the food parcels?
Based on a needs assessment, parcels are delivered primarily to the following families:
- Families with orphaned children and single-parent families
- Families displaced by war or disaster
- Households with elderly people without income and with chronically ill members
- Large families without a regular income
In this way, limited resources are directed to the tables that need them most.
Why a ready-made parcel and not cash?
In crisis regions, markets often do not function or prices rise sharply.
Parcels prepared through bulk purchasing ensure that families have direct and safe access to basic food.
How many parcels, how much?
| Parcel | Amount |
|---|---|
| 1 × food parcel | 40 € |
| 2 × food parcel | 80 € |
| 3 × food parcel | 120 € |
| 5 × food parcel | 200 € |
Example scenario: If five colleagues at a workplace in Innsbruck each set aside 40 €, together they can deliver a Ramadan food parcel to 5 families.
Thanks to the basket system, you can add several parcels to the same payment.
Example: For someone who wants to donate one parcel every week of Ramadan, 4 weeks × 40 € = 160 €; that means support for the tables of four different families.
If you would like to donate on behalf of a relative, you can write their name in the “Note” field on the payment page. For those who prefer a bank transfer, account details are on the bank accounts page.
