This Norooz, Moms Against Poverty launched a heartfelt Norooz food basket donation campaign to bring joy and nourishment to families facing poverty across Iran. Norooz, marking the Spring Equinox and the Persian New Year, is a time of renewal, reflection, and generosity.
With your help, the campaign was a success—thank you for your incredible support!
Your donations helped deliver food essentials to children and families in the provinces of Bushehr, Sistan & Baluchestan, and Khuzestan—some of the most underserved regions in Iran. This is a meaningful example of support for Iranian families in need during a culturally significant time.
Each $30 basket included:
10-kg rice bag
Dry pasta
Canned tuna
Cooking oil
Tea
Sweets
Other daily essentials
Together, we funded and distributed 2,000 baskets, each bringing hope, dignity, and nourishment to families in time for Norooz.
Although this campaign has concluded, you can still support MAP’s ongoing work. Your donations empower Persian New Year charity campaigns like this and ensure continued support for marginalized communities.
MAP’s programs are active year-round, with efforts in education, nutrition, wellness, and orphan care. If you’d like to help feed families in Bushehr, Khuzestan, and Sistan Baluchestan beyond Norooz, we welcome your ongoing support.
