Minister Adam Shareef Umar has announced that Ramadan gifts will be distributed from Maldives Industrial Fisheries Company (MIFCO) shops starting March 11.
In a post shared on X, the Minister stated that the distribution of Ramadan gifts will continue tonight and tomorrow night at the 13 centers as it is currently being done. He added that since Ramadan gifts have already been distributed to many parties, starting March 11, the gifts will be distributed from MIFCO shops located in Male' and Hulhumale'.
"Distribution (of canned tuna cases) will continue during the opening hours of the 4 MIFCO shops in Male' and Hulhumale'. Although the distribution centers will change from the 11th, I note that the distribution will continue through the online token system just as it is now," the Minister stated.
Giving a case of canned tuna to every household as a Ramadan gift is a special pledge of President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu. In accordance with this pledge, households are being gifted a case of 48 cans of 180g Fasmeeru brand tuna chunks in oil. While the distribution of Ramadan gifts began in the Male' area on February 20, Minister Adam Shareef Umar stated that Ramadan gifts have been provided to 48,000 households. The Minister also stated that arrangements will continue until all interested parties receive the Ramadan gift.
