- Needy families were identified in advance giving priority to the School Staff spacifically helping staff and needy Teachers and students families of the Baba Iceland School to ensure fair distribution..
- Special attention was given to elderly individuals, widows, and families with young children, prioritizing those in dire need.
The food hampers contained essential items, including:
- Flour, rice, and lentils
- Sugar, tea, and cooking oil
- Dates and other Ramadan-specific staples
These carefully curated hampers were designed to support families for the entire month, alleviating the financial burden of purchasing daily essentials.
Speaking at the event, Vice Admiral Mushtaq Ahmed emphasized the Pakistan Navy League’s dedication to social responsibility, stating: "Helping those in need, especially during Ramadan, is both a moral and religious obligation. We are honored to continue supporting Baba Island’s residents through such initiatives." Captain Ashfaq Agha also addressed the attendees, highlighting the PNL’s ongoing commitment to community welfare: "This is not just a one-time event; the Pakistan Navy League has been actively involved in supporting Baba Island for years. We aim to expand these efforts to include more sustainable solutions for the residents." The smiles and prayers of gratitude from the recipients were a heartwarming testament to the impact of this initiative. For many families, these food hampers meant a Ramadan without hunger, anxiety, or distress. The PNL’s efforts not only provided material support but also strengthened the sense of community, compassion, and togetherness that defines Ramadan.
Through such initiatives, the Pakistan Navy League continues to uphold its values of service, generosity, and responsibility towards humanity, setting a noble precedent for other organizations to follow.
