Scale and reach of the Jood Campaign by Sharjah Charity International (SCI)
SCI’s target of 1.2 million iftar meals positions the charity among the larger Ramadan relief operations in the UAE. Most shipments will support residents and workers across Sharjah, while a sizeable share will fund international relief to countries facing food insecurity.
Local distribution and operational plan in the Emirate of Sharjah
Within the Emirate, organisers say distribution points and mobile teams will prioritise low-income families, labour communities and vulnerable households. Teams will use centralised kitchens and community hubs to keep meals nutritious and timely. Logistics are being coordinated to ensure safe handling and rapid delivery.
International shipments and partner coordination across 51 countries
The campaign’s international arm will send 300,000 ready meals and food parcels to 51 countries. SCI officials confirm collaboration with local NGOs and relevant authorities to manage customs, transport and in-country distribution. The charity said donors can track contributions through official channels.
Funding, donation channels and corporate partnerships
Donations are being accepted through SCI’s website, mobile app, smart screens and call centre. The charity is urging corporates to join distribution and logistical support efforts to expand reach during peak Ramadan days. Small contributions, organisers say, scale quickly when pooled.
Anticipated impact and community response
Organisers expect the Jood Campaign to ease immediate food needs and strengthen social solidarity in Sharjah. Officials emphasised transparency and partner verification to ensure aid reaches intended recipients. The initiative also reinforces the UAE’s wider humanitarian engagement.
With 900,000 local meals and 300,000 international meals on its roster, Sharjah Charity International (SCI) aims to combine local compassion with global outreach this Ramadan. Authorities say the campaign will proceed with strict logistics, verified partners and accessible donation channels.
