As part of its ongoing commitment to humanitarian efforts, the Abou El Enein Foundation distributed thousands of hot meals to those observing the fast on Arafat Day, one of the most sacred days in the Islamic calendar.
The large-scale initiative targeted key locations in Cairo and beyond, with a special focus on the Ahl al-Bayt mosques, which witness high footfall during the spiritual occasion. Additional distributions were carried out along desert highways, reaching travelers and workers unable to make it home in time for iftar.
The effort comes as part of the foundation’s partnership with the National Alliance for Civil and Development Work (NACDW) and underscores its ongoing commitment to supporting vulnerable communities and promoting social cohesion, particularly during religious events that serve as reminders of compassion and shared responsibility.
"This campaign reflects our core mission to stand by those in need, especially during sacred times when acts of giving take on added meaning," the foundation said in a statement.
The Arafat Day meal distribution follows a broader year-round effort by the foundation to combat food insecurity and uplift underserved communities. In recent months, the organization oversaw one of the country’s largest meat distribution campaigns, slaughtering 1,200 sacrificial animals and distributing over 250,000 kilograms of meat across all Egyptian governorates. The campaign, supported by hundreds of volunteers, was launched in collaboration with the National Alliance and other civil society partners.
Recognized as one of Egypt’s most active nonprofit organizations, the Abou El Enein Foundation continues to expand its outreach across sectors including food support, healthcare, education, and community development—driven by a vision to improve lives and promote inclusive growth.
