With the incredible support of our donors, we distributed 2,848 food packs across 13 countries, each pack designed to sustain families for the entire month. We served over 300,000 hot Iftar and Suhoor meals through our Mercy Kitchen network and traditional distribution, creating spaces of togetherness, dignity, and nourishment.
Through these initiatives, we not only addressed immediate hunger but also fostered hope, unity, and compassion — the core values of Ramadan that continue to inspire our mission.
Food pack contents may vary by region. Substitutions may occur based on local availability and cultural preferences.
This year, the Mercy Kitchen was newly introduced — a central hub for preparation, distribution, and community engagement.

Received Zakat ul-Fitr 2026
ZAKAT UL FITR
As the holy month of Ramadan came to a close, Droplets of Mercy ensured the timely and impactful distribution of Zakat ul-Fitr — an essential obligation for Muslims to support those in need before the Eid prayer. This year, we distributed Zakat ul-Fitr across 6 countries: Palestine, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Egypt (Palestinian evacuees), Pakistan and Türkiye.
In Gaza, where conflict and displacement continue to devastate families, Zakat ul-Fitr provided urgent support, enabling recipients to celebrate Eid with dignity and peace of mind. Similarly, in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Pakistan and Türkiye, the support came as a vital lifeline during a time that is meant to be joyous and unifying.
Our local teams ensured that distributions were made in accordance with Islamic guidelines and prioritised those in greatest need. The impact of Zakat ul-Fitr goes beyond material aid — it carries with it a message of solidarity and compassion.

MERCY KITCHEN
This Ramadan, Droplets of Mercy proudly introduced the Mercy Kitchen — a transformative new concept that went far beyond food distribution. More than just a meal program, the Mercy Kitchen was a central hub of community life: a designated, branded space where food was prepared fresh, distributed with dignity, and shared in a spirit of togetherness.
Deployed across 5 countries: Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Kenya, Uganda, and Türkiye — each Mercy Kitchen operated daily throughout the entire month of Ramadan, serving warm, nutritious Iftar and Suhoor meals to thousands of fasting individuals who would otherwise have gone without.
With over 65,000 hot meals served through Mercy Kitchens alone, this initiative marks a bold step forward in how Droplets of Mercy delivers impact.
