Ramadan Food Hampers Delivery

29/04/2021 – Today our CEO spent her day delivering our Ramadan Food Hampers to our families. Staff from Roshni had also collected hampers from us that we had donated to their clients.

Himaya Haven received funding in April 2021 from Asda Foundation’s Supporting Communities Fund. This funding was secured to provide Ramadan food hampers for 30 of the families they support. On average the number of people that would have benefitted from this is 120 people, 60 adults and 70 children. The items included in each hamper were a box of dates, 1Kg of gram flour, 5Kg of chapatti flour, orange juice bottle, Tlda rice packet (250g), pasta, chickpea tins, peeled plum tomato tins, vegetable cooking oil (1L), Tetley tea bags (box of 80), 1Kg sugar bag, Asda coffee jars, Celebrations chocolate box, 2 packs of lentils, beans, salt and garam masala.

On the 20th April 2021 Himaya Haven received the funding from Asda Foundation. The day was spent picking up the food items, loading them into the office and sorting and organising all items into individual groups and then splitting them equally to put into each individual hamper.

Ramadan Food Hamper Donation – 6th May 2021

Another final donation of food hampers was given to Sister’s Care Project.

The Ramadan Food Hamper project was directly after the Ramadan Prisoner Welfare Pack project, with the RPWP finishing on the 22nd of April, and this project starting on the 20th of April 2021. This was a very challenging time having to be on the go, sorting and delivering without a break in-between, due to staff members also starting their fasting month. However, the Himaya Haven team thrives on challenges big or small. The team may be small, but they are mighty therefore, a special recognition is given to the staff at Himaya Haven for allowing project ideas to become successful because of their determination and support.
