    Three Ramadans of ration bags. This year, a table for the riders too.

    Since 2024, Rakhshanda Memorial has packed and delivered Rs 300 ration bags every Ramadan — 80 the first year, 100 the next, 200 this year. In 2026 we added a second promise: Wasl-e-Rehmat Iftar, a proper iftar table for Bykea riders still on the road when the fast breaks.

    Ramadan Ration Drives

    380Bags · three Ramadans
    Ramadan 2026

    Every Ramadan since 2024, Rakhshanda Memorial has run a ration drive built around one fixed number: Rs 300 per bag — enough flour, rice, oil, pulses, sugar and tea to carry a household through the month. What’s changed each year is scale: from a first-year pilot of 80 bags to 200 bags in 2026, reaching more verified families across Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

    This year we also opened a second front: Wasl-e-Rehmat Iftar 2026, an iftar gathering built specifically for Bykea riders — the men who spend the fasting hours delivering food to everyone else’s table.

    The ration drive, year on year

    What started as an 80-bag pilot in 2024 has more than doubled by 2026 — the same Rs 300 bag, reaching further each year.

    Before a bag is packed

    How we verify a deserving family

    Every bag goes to a household that’s been checked, not just registered.

    04Checks before a bag
    Step 01

    Application & nomination

    Families apply directly or are referred by community members, local elders, or mosque committees.

    Step 02

    Household visit

    An RM volunteer visits the home to confirm the family’s situation and household size in person.

    Step 03

    Cross-verification

    Details are cross-checked with neighbours or local representatives to rule out duplicate or false claims.

    Step 04

    Approval & listing

    Verified families are added to the distribution list and matched to a bag ahead of delivery.

    How the Rs 300 travels

    From warehouse to doorstep

    01 — PACK

    Bags assembled

    Volunteers pack each Rs 300 bag with a full month’s staples — flour, rice, oil, pulses, sugar, tea.

    02 — VERIFY

    Family confirmed

    Each bag is matched to a household that’s already been through the verification process above.

    03 — DELIVER

    Door to door

    Bags are hand-delivered across Islamabad & Rawalpindi ahead of iftar, not dropped at a collection point.

    Bykea Riders’ Iftar · 2026

    Wasl-e-Rehmat Iftar for Bykea Riders

    150+Bykea riders fed

    “Wasl-e-Rehmat” — a connection of mercy. A dastarkhwan laid out specifically for Bykea riders: the men who spend the fasting hours delivering iftar to everyone else’s door, and are usually still on their bikes when the azaan calls.

    They complete deliveries all day fasting, often breaking their fast alone on the roadside. Wasl-e-Rehmat Iftar 2026 was built to make sure that, at least once this Ramadan, someone was waiting for them with a full table.

    Rs 300 keeps one kitchen — or one plate — running this Ramadan.

    Fund a ration bag, a Wasl-e-Rehmat plate, or both. Every rupee goes straight into packing and delivering — no middle step.
