As the sun sets near Gate No 3 of Jama Masjid in Delhi, Neha Bharti and her family begin distributing free iftar meals to hundreds of people observing Ramadan. For the past three years, they have ensured that no one in the area breaks their fast hungry.
Each evening, 300 to 350 people receive food. The meals are given with dignity and without questions about religion. The effort started with Neha using her personal savings. Over time, residents and strangers joined in. Donations now arrive in the form of rice, fruits, dates, and money.
The initiative runs daily throughout Ramadan. Volunteers help organise and distribute the food before Maghrib. The focus remains simple. Provide a meal. Respect every person. Build trust through action.
Neha runs an NGO named Raah. Her work continues beyond Ramadan. Through Raah, she distributes free books to underprivileged children. She believes education strengthens dignity and opens opportunity. Her team identifies children in need and ensures they receive study material without cost.
The iftar drive near Jama Masjid reflects community support in a crowded part of the city. Many beneficiaries include daily wage workers and travellers who struggle to arrange meals on time. The steady supply of food each evening provides relief during Ramadan.
Neha describes service as a daily responsibility. The effort stands as an example of shared humanity expressed through consistent action.
