Ramadan Tent Project - Portland, OR
Donation protected
Ramadan Tent Project is an award winning community-led initiative aiming to participate in social change by creating bridges between individuals, bringing together communities, and fostering interfaith dialogue.
Through its flagship project Open Iftar, Ramadan Tent Project invites the homeless and the public at large, Muslims and non-Muslims, to break fast together at dusk during the holy month of Ramadan each year. Creating a Ramadan atmosphere, sharing meals, raising awareness about Islam, connecting neighbours and ensuring charitable endeavours continue. The Ramadan Tent Project delivers a platform that fulfils both the objectives of catering for people in need and promoting greater cross-community cohesion and understanding.
RTP was originally founded in London, but now there are over five locations. This is the first year that it is being hosted in Portland, and also the first time that the event is held in the United States. We want to host iftar (the meal for breaking one's fast) for three nights and in order to do so we need your help. We've estimated costs and fees to amount to $2500 for all three nights. We are grateful for any and all contributions, and we thank you for your time and cooperation. Our vision is a simple one - to bring people together over a warm meal and celebrate diversity.
