• To let beneficiaries enjoy a bountiful Iftar and feel supported by their community.

• To organize a community event that is an opportunity to educate
  and create an inter-faith gathering with delicious food, friends and conversation, allowing people of all races and religions to experience this practice. 

This is the first time a mass iftar event is open to the public, for anybody to have a chance to join this experience.

The whole Arab Street, that is usually a busy road, will be closed for this event. Participants will get the rare chance to dine al fresco in the middle of the road, near the majestic Sultan mosque and with prayer calls in the background. The street will be lit with fairy lights and a long table set up with festive decoration for participants to enjoy a memorable and one-of-a-kind community experience.
