Essential Ramadan Food Assistance for The Needy

BAZNAS RI distributed 55,150 “Hidangan Berkah Ramadan” ready-to-eat meal packages to beneficiaries in the Greater Jakarta and Sumatra regions during the holy month of Ramadan 1447 H/2026 AD. This program is part of BAZNAS RI’s commitment to ensuring that underprivileged communities can still meet their food needs while observing the fast.

Through the Head of the Distribution and Utilization Division, Saidah Sakwan, BAZNAS RI explained that the “Hidangan Berkah Ramadan” packages were distributed as iftar meals for vulnerable workers and beneficiaries in need. This program is expected to help recipients meet their food needs while observing the fast.

BAZNAS RI believes that the Ramadan Blessing Meals program aims not only to provide iftar meals but also to help ensure that beneficiaries receive adequate nutrition during the month of Ramadan. Thus, this program is expected to alleviate the burden on those in need while improving their well-being.

BAZNAS RI has also established “Hidangan Berkah Ramadan” community kitchens in several areas affected by flash floods in North Sumatra, West Sumatra, and Aceh. This initiative was undertaken to ensure food aid reaches communities in emergency situations or facing limited access to food.

BAZNAS RI expresses its appreciation to the donors who have entrusted the distribution of their zakat, infaq, and sadaqah to BAZNAS. These ZIS funds are managed with integrity, transparency, and precision to assist beneficiaries in various regions. During Ramadan 1447 H, BAZNAS RI also launched 29 flagship programs aimed at improving the well-being of beneficiaries across Indonesia.
