Every year, Hidaya Foundation strives to provide one million meals to those in dire need throughout the world. It costs 50 cents per meal, $50 for 100 meals and $500 for 1,000 meals.
Typically, Hidaya offers packages of flour, rice, lentils, dry milk powder, sugar, tea, spices, and oil to families in need. The nature of food supplies can vary according to the regions and countries involved.
Through this project, Hidaya encourages school children to learn how to share the blessings they have received with others who are not as fortunate. Each class has a suggested goal of raising funds for a hundred or more meals. Hidaya encourages children to donate small amounts from their pocket money so they may learn the importance of giving.
Hidaya Foundation was awarded Sitara-i-Eisaar (Star of Sacrifice) by the Government of Pakistan, in recognition of the results-oriented relief efforts during the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan.
