Grand Dastarkhwaan

Our signature event. An open-air community iftaar laid out on the streets of Karachi. Carpets are spread, biryani is cooked in massive daigs, sherbet is mixed in large tubs, and dates are placed on every thaal. Strangers sit together, share a meal, and break their fast as one community.

  • Fresh biryani from local vendors — 67 people fed per daig
  • Sherbet, dates, and water served to everyone
  • Carpets, thaals, and jugs set up for proper seating
  • 40+ volunteers managing service, security, and cleanup
  • Locations: School Road, Indus Hospital, and more

Dastarkhwaan photos coming soon

Iftaar Box Distribution

Packaged iftaar meals distributed to daily-wage workers, passersby, and families in need. Each box contains a complete meal — freshly prepared, hygienically packed, and handed out with a smile and sherbet on the side.

  • 250+ boxes distributed per drive
  • Each box: samosa, chicken roll, pakora, dates
  • Fresh sherbet served alongside at a stand
  • Multiple drives per week throughout Ramadan
  • Distributed at accessible public locations

Distribution photos coming soon
