Project director Thikra Al-Abdul Latif said the campaign aimed to build a relationship with families who lacked breadwinners and needed empowerment the most.
The project has several phases: assessing the needs of the target group, seeking support, determining the required quantity of the contents of the food basket, developing a distribution plan and choosing the best prices for the contents of the baskets.
