How Much Does It Cost to Provide an Iftar Meal in Africa? | A 1-Person Iftar Is 150 TRY

Honestly, while waiting for iftar time, a person deeply feels the peace of being together with loved ones around that table, of waiting for the sound of the call to prayer. But sometimes, when you see on the news or on social media the children who do not even have a bowl of hot soup in front of them when that call to prayer is recited, the morsel a person eats sticks in their throat. "What can I even do from here?" a person naturally wonders.

In our parts, once the table is spread on the floor, no one looks at who comes and sits down; bread is shared with everyone. But today, delivering that bread thousands of kilometers away, to the arid deserts of Africa, is not something we can do on our own. This is exactly where overseas iftar donation organizations allow us to extend the edge of that table all the way to Africa. So, what is the cost of this good deed in 2026? Let us answer the questions on your mind right away, clearly.

How Much Does It Cost to Provide an Iftar Meal in Africa?

With the assurance of Kardeşim Association, providing a 1-person iftar meal in Africa costs 150 TRY. This amount of 150 TRY covers not just a bowl of soup, but a filling hot meal menu suitable for the conditions of that region, nutritious, containing protein (meat/chicken) and carbohydrates (rice/pasta).

So when you think about it; with the price of a cup of coffee we would drink at an ordinary café in big cities today, you can take on the iftar of a person who has struggled with hunger and thirst all day, perhaps one who has not had a warm morsel pass through their throat for days. The figures may be small, but believe me, their value there and the prayer they bring about are of tremendous greatness.

How Is an Overseas Iftar Donation Made? (Personalized, with Video)

It is very natural for a person to feel uneasy when donating abroad, to worry "Did my money reach its destination?" To eliminate exactly this worry, we have combined the honest trustee culture of Urfa with the digital. We do not throw your overseas iftar donation into a pool system; we carry it out for you directly, personalized and with video. The process is very simple:

1. Donation Step: Through our website, you donate the iftar cost of at least 40 people at 150 TRY each, or the cost of the meals for any number you wish (e.g., 15,000 TRY for 100 people).
2. The Cauldrons Boil: At our soup kitchens in the region, with your support and that of other benefactors, that day's hot iftar meals are cooked hygienically in huge cauldrons.
3. Your Name Is Read: While the meals are placed on plates and distributed to those in need, our staff member turns on the camera and records that moment, saying, "This is the iftar offering of Mr./Ms. [Your Name and Surname]."
4. The Video Comes to Your Phone: The link to this short video that is recorded is sent directly to you via SMS the next day or at the latest two days later.

Africa Only? Which Regions Can I Provide Iftar To?

Goodness has no limits. As Kardeşim Association, our priority is always the most disadvantaged regions where the hunger crisis is experienced most deeply. With the fixed iftar cost of 150 TRY, you can choose any region you wish:

• Africa: Remote villages and orphanages struggling with drought and poverty.
• Syria: Tent cities trying to erase the traces of war.
• Afghanistan: Crisis regions where access to basic food is difficult.
• Gaza: Regions inside Gaza where we provide meals almost every day.

In addition, by combining this 150 TRY meal organization with your Qurban Donation with Video or your votive (adak) slaughters, you can also turn the Qurban you slaughter into a great feast table in that village.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I provide iftar meals only during the month of Ramadan? No. This meal organization, which we provide under the name "iftar" during the month of Ramadan, also continues uninterrupted during the remaining 11 months of the year with the intention of a "hot meal, charity meal, or thanksgiving meal."

Can I take on the entire iftar of a village of 100 people? Of course. By donating 15,000 TRY (100 x 150 TRY), you can take on the entire iftar expense for that day of a village or orphanage in Africa.

Is there meat in the meals? Yes. Our iftar and hot meal menus are composed mainly of meat dishes, chicken pilaf, and nutritious foods, in order to meet people's daily protein needs.

Set a Plate at Your Table for Them Too

In the rush of life, we sometimes forget the value of what we have. Yet that 150 lira is the exact equivalent of the smile on a child's face, of a mother being freed from the worry of "What will I feed my child today?"

While watching that very short video that arrives on your mobile phone, when you hear your own name, you will not find that indescribable inner peace in anything else. Come, when you sit at your own table this evening, set a plate at that table in Africa too.

Your trust is ready, the tables are waiting for them.
