The only way to truly grow is together and with that motto, Dawoodi Bohra community leads the world with example of setting up Faiz al-Mawaid al-Burhaniyah (FMB) programme – community kitchen to ensure that nobody in the community ever goes hungry.

The program, first launched in 2011 by Syedna Mohammed Burhanuddin, is a beacon of hope and solidarity for Dawoodi Bohra communities around the world.
These kitchens serve not just as places to prepare food but as nurturing spaces that foster connection and compassion.
With a heartfelt commitment to ensuring that every household receives at least one wholesome and nutritious meal a day, the FMB programme embodies the essence of community spirit.
FMB addresses food insecurity while promoting dignity and respect, reminding us that no one should face hunger alone.
Each meal served is a testament to the strength of unity and the deep-rooted values of care and compassion that bind the community together, transforming lives and uplifting spirits in the face of adversity.
FMB currently benefits over 135,000 households in 869 cities worldwide.
Key highlights of the programme
• Over 7,000 volunteers support the programme alongside paid staff.
• Funded by voluntary donations from community members.
• Unifies the community regardless of social or economic status.
• Dana Committee formed to eliminate food waste, meaning "a grain of food."
• As of 2021, 526 Dana Committees exist with a total of 7,853 members across forty countries.
