Ramadan COVID-19 Fund for Karachi, Pakistan
Donation protected
Many of us are blessed to quarantine in the comforts of our home and have access to food, but there are many people who do not have this luxury.
As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, we are currently reaching out to our family and friends for their contribution to help provide the people impacted by COVID-19 food for Ramadan.
The plan is to provide a months worth of supply of food to those affected in Karachi, Pakistan.
The planned package per family for the month of Ramadan is as follows:
20 kg Flour
10 kg Rice
5 kg Sugar
2 kg Tea
4 kg Lentils
2 kg Chickpeas
4 types of spices
2 Bottle of Rooh Afza
2 packets of sawaiyan
2 kg Powder Milk
10 kg Cooking Oil
1 kg Chick pea flower
₨ 3000 - For other needs such as vegetables, eggs, bread and etc
The estimated cost based on current market prices is approximately Rs. 17,000. This includes all the food mentioned above and the Rs 3000 cash. Each package is approximately $145 Canadian (Exchange rate may fluctuate).
If you would like to help the cause please donate and make Ramadan easier for those in need.
UPDATE April 13th, 2020:
We have received quotes for the supplies above, the estimated cost has been reduced to approximately Rs 13,500 per package. Equaling approximately $111-115 CAD.
UPDATE April 14th, 2020:
We have been able to negotiate the prices of the supplies down even further because of the large order we will be placing. As of now we have approximately $6400 CAD. This includes this GoFundMe page and other contributions directly from friends and family. In addition, we made some changes to the package to make it better suited for Ramadan. The updated package, we believe is better and includes more items and is as follows.
20 kg Flour
10 kg Rice
5 kg Sugar
1 kg Tea
4 kg Lentils
2 kg Chickpeas
4 types of spices
2 Bottle of Rooh Afza
2 packets of sawaiyan
1 kg Powder Milk
5 kg Cooking Oil
2 kg Ghee
1 kg Chick pea flower
400g Dates
1 packet Custard Powder
1 Packet Jelly Powder
1 Packet Kheer Mix
1 Packet Pudding
500g Chilli Garlic Sauce
The updated package cost is Rs 7350 per package !! This is a lot lower than initially anticapted which will result in many more families receiving supplies. Each package is approximately $61 Dollars (Exchange Rate may fluctuate).
We have placed an order of 100 packages today and delivery will start in 2 days!! That is 100 families. Which is incredible. Please continue to share and support!
