What is a Video Meal Donation?
A video meal donation is a system in which the iftar or hot meal donations made by benefactors are carefully prepared and distributed in needy regions while the donor’s name is read aloud and recorded on camera. The 2026 cost of an iftar meal for one person has been set at 150 TL by the Kardeşim Association. Donations are delivered to people in need in Africa, Syria, Afghanistan, and Türkiye, and the raw, unedited video link of the distribution moment is sent directly to the donor via SMS.
Helping others and sharing a meal is deeply rooted in our culture. However, in today’s digital world, many donors understandably ask the same question:
"Does my donation really reach its destination? Does the money I give actually put a warm meal in that child’s stomach?"
Ensuring that the trust placed in us reaches its rightful place is just as valuable as the intention itself. As Kardeşim Association, we eliminate this doubt entirely with our 100% transparent “video meal donation” system, bringing the table of orphans and people in need—thousands of kilometers away—directly to your mobile phone.
Our system is not simply about transferring money to a bank account. We are the bridge that holds the serving spoon on your behalf, distributes the meals, and records those innocent smiles for you. The process works through four transparent steps:
Making the Donation:
You send the donation amount for at least forty people’s hot meals/iftar through our website.
Local and Nutritious Preparation:
In our soup kitchens located in the region where the donation is made (for example, in Africa), nutritious hot meals suitable for the local taste are prepared in large pots.
Personalized Video Recording:
While the meals are distributed, our field staff records the moment and says:
“This iftar/charity meal is offered by Mr./Ms. [Your Name]. May Allah accept it.”
The Video Sent to Your Phone:
The transparent, natural, and unedited video of the distribution is sent directly to you via SMS as soon as possible.
Considering both war-affected regions and the difficult climate conditions in Africa, the Kardeşim Association has carefully optimized operational costs. For 2026, the cost of one meal has been fixed at 150 TL for all regions.
| Donation Region | Cost for 1 Person (Iftar / Hot Meal) |

For the price of an ordinary coffee you might drink outside today, you can set the table for a family that has been longing for a warm meal.
As a movement centered in Şanlıurfa, we carry the tradition of the “Halil Ibrahim Table”—a symbol of generosity in our lands—to the world. In our civilization, doors are always open to guests. Yet today, in Africa or in tent cities in Syria, there are millions of people with no one left to knock on their door.
Organizing iftar meals in Africa is not just about satisfying biological hunger. When you hand a meal to a child on those dry lands, you are actually saying:
"Your brothers and sisters in Türkiye have not forgotten you."
When they receive that meal and you see the light in their eyes through the WhatsApp video sent to you, you will realize that no wealth in the world can equal this feeling.
Can I only donate during Ramadan?
No. You can donate 365 days a year with the 150 TL meal amount. You may support a hot meal distribution anytime—whether as charity, in memory of your parents, as gratitude, or simply because you feel like helping.
Can I provide meals for an entire village?
Absolutely. For example, if you cover the meal cost for 100 people in an African village (15,000 TL), the entire charity table set up in your or your family’s name will be recorded and shared with you through a detailed video.
What is included in the meal menu?
Menus vary depending on the region, but they are designed to be filling and nutritious. They generally include:
A carbohydrate source (rice or pasta)
A protein source (meat or chicken)
A refreshing drink or fruit
In the rush of life, true wealth is not what we accumulate, but what we share and with whom we share it.
A small step of 150 TL—an amount that will not strain your budget—can turn into a warm meal proudly served by a mother to her child far away.
