Ramadan is not only a religious occasion, but also a social and cultural one. It is a time to reach out and help those who don’t have a home or family to come back or don’t have enough to feed their children. This year, Al Rifai has decided to send out drones to deliver special packages to families and individuals in need and help them enjoy Ramadan. The drones, called Angel Drones, will be delivering packages throughout the whole month of Ramadan.
Al Rifai has always been creative with its ads and campaigns. I love the idea, I just hope no one will report the drones to the authorities thinking they are Israeli lol!

looks like they only managed to deliver 4 boxes, with the technical complexity of the drones.
I hope they distributed more than 4 boxes otherwise this would be a cheap abuse of the situation of those poor people.
Josef,
They r doing it the whole month and the 4 boxes are just shown in the video. I’m sure there were others.
You can see all the relief delivered on angeldrones.alrifai.com, definitely more than 4 boxes.
I applaud Al Rifai’s effort and intentions, but couldn’t they have put food in the boxes perhaps…you know the stuff needy families really need?
There is food in the boxes
my apologies then, it seemed like there was only toys in the video.
Nézlit dam3teh, not.
With the money they spent on this edit and the drones, they could have helped many more kids.
Not to mention that in Islam your are not supposed to flaunt your good deeds. So this defies the logic of charity work in Ramadan.
As for the idea itself, it’s beyond stupid. Looks like some agency was trying to flex some muscle, but ruptured a tendon in the process.
Not a fan of this Ramadan drone Santa, sorry.
