Under the agreement signed by the President of the Algerian Red Crescent, Ibtissem Hamlaoui, and the Acting CEO of the Ooredoo Algeria company, Roni Tohme, the “Al Hilal” or ‘Crescent’ restaurants will be financed during the month of Ramadan 2023 to provide Iftar meals nationwide.
Up to 50,000 baskets, with a capacity of 22 kg of basic foodstuffs per unit and SIM cards packed with voice and data credits, will be distributed during the month of Ramadan, in addition to the implementation of a project in the field of sustainable development, as well as other initiatives for the benefit of vulnerable classes of society.
