Bayat Foundation Distributes Ramadan Food Aid in Ghazni Province

The Bayat Foundation distributed food packages to dozens of vulnerable families in Ghazni province as part of its annual Ramadan assistance campaign. The packages contained flour, rice and cooking oil, targeting underprivileged households including migrant families and those without breadwinners, following a needs assessment.

Haji Mohammad Ismail, deputy head of the Bayat Foundation, said the distribution in Ghazni city is part of the organization's yearly Ramadan program conducted across multiple provinces. "As part of the Bayat Foundation’s annual Ramadan assistance program, which is distributed every year during the holy month, we are pleased to be in Ghazni city today to distribute aid to a number of deserving migrant families," Ismail said. He added that the campaign continues in Kabul and other regions.

Earlier this week, the foundation delivered similar aid in Farah province after survey teams assessed needs in various districts and villages. Friadoon Abdullah, the foundation's representative in Farah, said the assistance went to the most vulnerable families identified through that process.

Established in 2006 by Dr. Ehsanullah Bayat, the Bayat Foundation is one of Afghanistan's largest private charitable organizations. Over the past two decades, it has carried out emergency relief, seasonal food programs, healthcare, education support and infrastructure projects such as mosques, health centers, schools and clean water access in underserved areas.

Beneficiaries in Ghazni expressed gratitude for the support. One recipient, from a family of six without a breadwinner, thanked the foundation. Another said, "We are grateful to the Bayat Foundation for assisting us during the blessed month of Ramadan."

Foundation officials stated the Ramadan campaign will continue nationwide through the end of the holy month.
