Ramadan is coming. The holy month brings peace to our hearts. But for many in Bangladesh, it brings worry. They worry about food. They want to fast, but they have nothing to eat at sunset. You can change this. You can become an Iftar meal sponsor today.

When you sponsor a meal, you do a great deed. You feed a hungry stomach. You earn the reward of a fasting person. You bring a smile to a tired face.

SPAR Project invites you to join our mission. We want to ensure no one in Bangladesh goes hungry this Ramadan. Your donation provides hot, tasty food to orphans, widows, and the poor. This guide explains how you can help and why your gift matters.

The Power of Feeding Others in Islam

Our faith teaches us to give. The Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) loved to feed people. He taught us a powerful lesson about Ramadan.

He said: “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like that of the fasting person, without any reduction in his reward.”

Think about this.

You fast for yourself. You get one reward.

You act as an Iftar meal sponsor for someone else. You get two rewards.

If you feed ten people, you get the reward of ten fasts.

This is the best way to multiply your good deeds. You do not need to fast extra days. You just need to share your wealth. It is a simple trade. You give a few dollars. You gain mountains of rewards.

Hunger in Bangladesh: The Real Picture

Life is hard in Bangladesh. Prices are high. Jobs are scarce. Many people live day to day.

Imagine a rickshaw puller in Dhaka. He works hard in the hot sun. He is fasting. His throat is dry. His legs are tired. At sunset, he checks his pocket. He has only a few taka. He buys a small bun and water. That is his Iftar. He is still hungry.

Now imagine a different scene.

You donate. We give him a box of hot Biryani. We give him cold juice. We give him dates. He eats a full meal. He feels strong. He prays for you.

This is the difference you make. Your gift takes away his pain. It gives him dignity.

What Does an Iftar Meal Sponsor Provide?

You might wonder, “What do they eat?”

We believe in quality. We do not give cheap food. We give food that we would eat ourselves. We want the poor to feel special.

When you become an Iftar meal sponsor, you provide a complete meal.

Here is what is inside the box:

1. Dates (Khejur)

It is Sunnah to break the fast with dates. Dates give instant energy.

2. Fresh Juice or Water

After a long day without water, hydration is vital. We provide clean water or sweet juice.

3. The Main Dish (Tehari or Biryani)

This is a favorite dish in Bangladesh. It is rice cooked with beef or chicken and spices. It smells delicious. It is heavy and filling. It gives them strength for the next day.

4. Fried Snacks (Iftar Items)

Bangladeshis love fried items at Iftar. We often include “Beguni” (eggplant fritters) or “Piyaju” (lentil fritters). This makes the meal feel like a celebration.

5. Fruit

We include a piece of seasonal fruit. This provides vitamins and health.

Your money buys a full plate of happiness.

The “Open Table” Experience

We love to eat together. In the villages, we create an “Open Dastarkhan” (Open Table).

We lay mats on the ground. Hundreds of people sit in rows. We see old men. We see young children. We see mothers with babies.

They sit quietly. They wait for the Adhan (call to prayer).

You are not there in person. But your love is there. The food in front of them comes from you.

When they lift their hands to pray, they ask Allah to bless the donor. They ask Allah to increase your wealth. This prayer comes from the heart of a fasting person. Allah listens to these prayers.

Helping the Street Children

Dhaka has many street children. They have no home. They have no parents to cook for them. They sleep on the pavement.

Ramadan is lonely for them. They see families eating together. They feel left out.

SPAR Project focuses on these kids. We set up special food distributions for them.

We treat them like VIPs. We serve them hot food. We speak to them with kindness.

When you become an Iftar meal sponsor, you become a parent to these orphans. You show them that they are not trash. You show them they are part of the Muslim Ummah.

Support for Rohingya Refugees

We also work in Cox’s Bazar. This is home to a million Rohingya refugees.

They live in crowded camps. They cannot work. They rely on aid for everything.

Ramadan is very hot in the camps. The shelters are made of plastic.

Your donation sends food trucks to these camps. We cook in huge pots. We feed thousands of refugees every day.

They have lost their land. They have lost their homes. Do not let them lose hope. Your food pack tells them, “We remember you.”

Zakat vs. Sadaqah: How to Give

You can use different types of charity for this project.

1. Zakat

Yes, this project is Zakat eligible. Feeding the poor is a core part of Zakat. If you select “Zakat” on our website, we use your money only for the poorest people. We follow the rules of Sharia strictly.

2. Sadaqah

This is voluntary charity. You can give this at any time.

• Sadaqah Jariyah: This is a long-term reward. The energy from the food helps them worship. You get a share of that worship.

3. Fidyah and Kaffarah

Cannot fast due to illness? You must pay Fidyah. You must feed a poor person for each day you miss.

Did you break a fast without reason? You must pay Kaffarah. You must feed 60 poor people.

We can handle these payments for you. We use the money to feed the hungry.

Why Choose SPAR Project?

There are many charities. Why pick us?

Here are simple reasons.

We Are Locals

We live here. We know the language. We know the culture. We know where the poorest people live. We do not need expensive consultants. We do the work ourselves.

We Are Transparent

We show you the work. We take photos. We make videos. We post them on social media. You can see exactly where your money goes. We hide nothing.

We Are Fast

Hunger is urgent. When you click donate, we act fast. We buy the food. We cook the food. We serve the food. We do not hold your money in a bank account. We use it immediately.

How Much Does it Cost?

You do not need to be rich. Giving is cheap in Bangladesh because the currency is different.

• $2 – $3: Provides one hot, premium Iftar meal.
• $25: Feeds 10 people.
• $100: Feeds a large group or a madrasah class.

Skip one coffee. Skip one sandwich. Use that money to become an Iftar meal sponsor. The impact is huge.

Plan Your Giving for the Last Ten Nights

Ramadan has three parts.

1. First 10 days: Mercy.
2. Middle 10 days: Forgiveness.
3. Last 10 days: Freedom from Hellfire.

The last ten nights are special. They contain Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Power).

Worship on this night is better than 1,000 months. That is 83 years.

If you donate on this night, it is like you donated for 83 years non-stop.

Plan ahead. Save some money for these nights. Sponsor meals every night of the last ten days. Do not miss this chance.

A Story of Hope

Let us tell you about Rahim.

Rahim is 10 years old. He collects plastic bottles to sell. He has no father.

Last Ramadan, he stood outside a restaurant. He smelled the food. He was hungry.

A SPAR Project volunteer saw him. He invited Rahim to our Open Table.

Rahim sat down. He saw the chicken biryani. His eyes went wide. He ate until he was full. He took an extra apple for his little sister.

He smiled and said, “This is the best day.”

You made that happen. A donor like you paid for that plate.

There are many Rahims waiting for you this year.
