“We are continuing this great service more than 40 years with the support of Mr. Ali Rashid Lootah,” said Mr Khan. “Thanks to CDA, Govt. of Dubai who has given this great opportunity to serve the community.”

The organisation wants to provide support to majority blue collar expats and their families. They can break their fast with one of the best dishes and pack some for their families.
