The Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah, and Guidance — represented by the Higher Islamic Institute in the region of Louga, northern Senegal — inaugurated King Salman’s program for iftar on Friday. The program aims to provide around 5,000 people with food with which to break their fast throughout Ramadan. The program was inaugurated in the presence of a representative of Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Senegal and its religious attaché, Waheed Mohammed Mujarbi, as well as by the governor of Luga, Abdelaziz Val, and several officials. More than 500 food baskets for families will be distributed during the holy month in Louga and its suburbs. Mujarbi said that this program serves to highlight the Kingdom’s generous support to Senegal. Val expressed his gratitude to King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for their generosity, and thanked the Ministry of Islamic Affairs, Dawah and Guidance for its efforts in implementing the program. The Kingdom has this year launched projects in 34 countries to provide iftar meals for around 1.2 million people throughout the holy month, which began on April 2.
