Kuwait serves USD-2.3-mln Ramdan Iftar meals

KUWAIT, June 5 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti Zakat House said Monday it was launching a charitable initiative aiming at serving 19,000 fast-breaking or Iftar meals costing KD 700,000 (around USD 2.3 million) nationwide.
It is the biggest philanthropic initiative carried out by Zakat House this year since it covers approximately 200 mosques and sites in all Kuwaiti governorates, the project chief Ayed Al-Mutairi said to KUNA.
The plan is primarily intended to serve Iftar meals that contain integrative nutritional substances as per relevant food criteria and conditions, he said.
The initiative reflects Kuwaiti people's benevolence and eagerness to lend a hand to the needy and have-nots inside the country, particularly during the holy fasting month of Ramadan, Al-Mutairi boasted. (end) amn.nfa.mt
