Humanity First Georgia organised its annual Ramadan Food Distribution project, between 12 and 18 February 2026, through the generous support of Humanity First Germany. For four consecutive days, our volunteers traversed difficult terrain and narrow alleys to reach the doorsteps of those in need.
The heart of our mission took us to the Adjara region of West Georgia, where 500 food packets were distributed in the “Dream City” settlement of Batumi. Despite its name, the settlement faces severe infrastructural challenges, including a lack of sewage systems and hazardous electrical wiring. Our focus remained on families displaced by devastating landslides over a decade ago. Many still live in precarious temporary shelters, waiting for promised relocation.
The second phase of the project took place in the village of Kabali, located in the Kakheti region of East Georgia. Here, we distributed 100 food packets to a community known for its deep-rooted faith. Each packet was designed to be a comprehensive “Ramadan Basket,” providing nutritional stability for the entire month.
This blessed task was carried out with the help of a dedicated team of 14 volunteers. A heartwarming highlight was reconnecting with a local supermarket manager. Five years ago, she had assisted Humanity First with a project; despite the long silence, she was immediately ready to help again, securing low-cost products and providing storage and packaging facilities.
We also witnessed a clear sign of Allah’s grace regarding the weather. Heavy rain was forecast for the final day in Batumi, which would have made the unpaved roads to the settlement impassable. Alhamdulillah, the weather held just long enough. We delivered the final package to an elderly man at 8 pm and only moments later, the downpour began.
The project resonated deeply with the local community. On social media, our reports reached over 9,400 people, with many expressing their gratitude. One local volunteer remarked:
“We have seen many organisations, but the way you reached the homes that others avoid has touched our hearts.”
