As the sun dips below the horizon during Ramadan, countless families gather to break their fast in peace. But for many in Lebanon, that sacred moment arrives without food, and with the weight of hunger and hardship pressing down harder than ever.

In neighbourhoods affected by poverty, inflation, and ongoing crisis, Iftaar can be a quiet, sombre moment — not for reflection, but for survival. Empty plates sit on bare tables. Parents struggle to shield their children from the harsh truth: there may not be a meal tonight.

That’s when a knock on the door changes everything.

With arms full of warm meals and essential food packages, Project AJR volunteers step into these forgotten spaces, bringing not just sustenance but dignity. These aren’t scheduled drop-offs or expected distributions. They are surprise visits — moments of pure, unexpected mercy that catch families off guard in the most beautiful way.

A mother, overwhelmed with emotion, clutches a bag of rice and fresh bread with tears in her eyes. A child, unsure at first, breaks into a smile as the aroma of lentils and warm meat fills the air. An elderly man whispers a quiet prayer of gratitude, humbled by the kindness that has arrived at his doorstep.

Project AJR’s initiative during Ramadan isn’t just about food. It’s about restoring hope — about telling families, “You are not forgotten.”

With every delivery, the organisation reinforces its promise: 100% of donations go directly to those in need. It’s not charity — it’s solidarity. It’s compassion in action.

In the blessed month of Ramadan, when generosity is multiplied and hearts are open, Project AJR reminds us all of the true meaning of giving: to seek out those in darkness and offer them light.
