As Ramadan approaches, many of us feel that familiar, pleasant rush when we go to the market. Shopping carts fill up quickly—separate preparations for sahur and iftar, extra ingredients, and sweet treats for family gatherings. Yet while walking through those aisles, when the images we see on television or the internet come to mind—children who break their fast with only a sip of muddy water or a small piece of bread—it becomes difficult to swallow. The groceries in our cart suddenly feel heavier on our conscience.
Across our country, kitchens are stocked before Ramadan begins. But in our culture, the most meaningful corner of the pantry is always reserved for those in need—the neighbor without food, the poor, the forgotten. In these lands, eating bread alone has always been considered shameful.
However, reaching those who are thousands of kilometers away—especially families living in extreme poverty in Africa—is not something most of us can do individually. This is where Kardeşim Association steps in. We take the share of blessings from your home and deliver it as a Ramadan food package to families in need across Africa.
Let’s take a closer look at 2026 Ramadan food package prices and how the process works.
For 2026, the Africa Ramadan food package donation amount determined by Kardeşim Association is 1,500 TL.
This amount has been carefully calculated based on local market conditions to meet approximately one month of sahur and iftar needs for a family.
In Türkiye, 1,500 TL may only cover a few days of groceries for a household. However, thanks to Africa’s different economic conditions and our association’s ability to purchase supplies in bulk from local markets, the same amount can support an entire family’s meals for 30 days.
The 1,500 TL food package contains durable staple foods that match the local dietary habits of the region.
Typical items include:
Flour and Rice (primary carbohydrate sources)
Cooking Oil
Sugar and Salt
Pasta varieties
Local legumes (such as beans or lentils)
Tomato paste or local sauces
Note: The exact package contents may vary depending on the region and crisis conditions (such as Africa, Syria, or Afghanistan) to ensure families receive the most useful and beneficial items.
When donating food assistance, it is completely natural to wonder:
"Did my donation really reach someone in need, or did it sit unused in a warehouse?"
After all, you are entrusting us with your charity.
At Kardeşim Association, we understand this sensitivity and treat your trust with the utmost care. When you donate 1,500 TL for a food package, the process works as follows:
Food packages are prepared directly by our field teams based on the most urgent local needs, without using intermediary subcontractors.
These packages are personally delivered to pre-identified families in need—including widows, orphans, drought victims, and war-affected households—directly at their homes or tents.
Because our distribution operations often serve thousands of families at once, it may not be possible to send a personalized video for every donor. However, we share the entire process transparently through photos, reports, and distribution videos on our social media channels.
This ensures that your donation does not wait in storage but quickly reaches the kitchen of a family who needs it most.
Yes, you can. In Islamic jurisprudence, zakat and fitrah do not have to be given strictly as cash. Converting them into essential food items—such as a 1,500 TL food package—and distributing them to those in need is completely permissible and valid.
No. Although it is commonly called a “Ramadan food package,” hunger in these regions continues throughout the entire year. You can donate a 1,500 TL food package any day of the year.
No. Through our website’s secure 3D Secure payment system, the 1,500 TL food package donation can be made as a single payment using your credit card.
While filling our kitchen shelves, the cost of a few extra items we add to our cart can easily reach 1,500 TL. For us, it may feel like a small shopping detail—but for a family living in the middle of a harsh desert climate, it means their children will not ask “What will we eat today?” for an entire month.
Do not postpone kindness.
While preparing your own iftar table, send a package full of hope to a family far away.
