As the COVID-19 pandemic rages on and takes a heavy toll on the poorest population of the country, celebrities are doing their share of helping out the needy in the best way they can.

Feroze Khan was the pioneer of the project, broadcasting it on his Instagram story and urging his fans to contribute and do the same.

“Anyone needs to contribute in proportion packs. It tends to be Zakaat too. I am getting proportion sacks made of essential necessities. Plz get in touch with me on the off chance that anybody is intrigued to contribute,” he said.

The actor planned out how to get 100 apportion sacks to the needy.

Actress Maya Ali followed, getting proportion sacks made and delivered to her home for distribution. She shared photos on her Instagram and captioned it:

“This is the main bunch of apportion packs which has quite recently shown up. It’s the correct time when we should have our impact and shouldn’t trust that others will come and spare individuals. We sure need to meet up during these difficult occasions and help those out of luck. Not every person can endure a lock-down except if obviously, we help them here and there. We would all be able to do our bit, right?”

This is the first batch of ration bags which has just arrived. It’s the right time when we should play our own part and shouldn’t wait for others to come and save people. It is a very crucial time and we should become one as a nation and stick together. Alhamdulillah I am glad that ALLAH has given me this opportunity to help those in need at a time like this. A few days ago I got this thought in my mind which I shared it with my friends @faizasaqlain_ and @saqlainhayder who also became a part of this… I am truly thankful to each and every single individual who donated and played their part even from outside Pakistan. We have no idea how long this will go on, but we have to stand together for those in need and are less fortunate. Insha ALLAH this all will end soon but until then we have to continue doing this… If any one wants to donate, please contact on this number and I’ll make sure this reaches the deserving affected people. I am going to attach the list of all the items which are included in a Rashan bag. Each rashan bag costs 5k, and if anyone wants to make their own Rashan bag and send that instead of money, you can do that also… Let’s become one nation to fight corona and win against it…. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Please send the picture of the receipt once you make the payment in this number. +923103111121 Bank Alfalah Nift code: 0530128 Branch name: Cavalry Ground Branch Lahore Name: FAIZA SAQLAIN Account: PK51ALFH0157001004713768 Branch code: 0157 Swift code: ALFHPKKA157
