SAHANA Ramadan Project 2022

The Sri Lankan Welfare Association (SLWA), commonly known as SAHANA among the Sri Lankan community in UAE has yet again initiated their Iftar meal distribution during the holy month of Ramadan. On request of the Community Development Authority of Dubai, SLWA has collaborated with Food ATM and with the generosity of sponsors has evoked in the Ifat meal distribution in Dubai & Abu Dhabi.

The Abu Dhabi Volunteers distributed 1600 Iftar meal at Musaffah on 15^th April 2022. The positive outcome of this noble cause enabled us to distribute a total number of 9600 iftar meals during the month of Ramadan with the unwavering support from the generous sponsors, volunteers and many Youth club members of SLWA- SAHANA. Another important of this project which enabled us to distribute a higher volume of meals is mainly due to the support from Food ATM – UAE for providing meals at very economical value of AED3 per meal. Our media partner Laknadha Radio was instrumental in covering Ramadan project during the month.
