Dawoodi Bohras Mark World Food Day

TDT | Manama

Thousands of Dawoodi Bohras from all parts of the world have come out on World Food Day to engage in various activities to fight for a Zero Hunger World and honour our Food Heroes, amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The Dawoodi Bohras of Bahrain mobilised efforts and provided rations for a Labour Camp in Sanad. The community also committed 300 plus dry ration packets partnering with the Capital Governate as a part of the fight against Covid-19. Additionally, a refrigerator was kept near Salmaniya Garden in Manama as part of zero food waste initiative where excess food is kept for the needy. Along with that, Kingdom Pride Cente in Selha, participated in the Nasayem Al Bahrain, a local environmental initiative by Zeba and family to distribute 1 million local fruit and vegetable seeds. The free seeds aim to initiate peoples interest in growing plants in their homes. The activities were under the banner of Project Rise, which is the global philanthropic arm of the Dawoodi Bohra community
