Al Qaswa Friends, a Mangaluru group providing free Iftar meals and promoting interfaith harmony.

Al Qaswa Friends is a community group based in Mangaluru that focuses on serving those in need through free assistance and interfaith initiatives. The group’s primary objective is to help hard‑working individuals and families who cannot afford a proper meal, especially during the holy month of Ramadan, ensuring that no one goes hungry. In collaboration with Mother Teresa Vichara Vedika, Al Qaswa Friends organizes interfaith Iftar gatherings that bring together people from diverse religious and social backgrounds to foster communal harmony and mutual respect. One such event was held near the Sahakari Sadan Complex, close to Rao and Rao Circle, and was attended by local leaders from various faith communities who emphasized unity, humility, and the shared value of compassion across religions. Through these efforts, the group seeks to strengthen interfaith bonds and create a platform for dialogue and togetherness, reflecting a commitment to societal well‑being that extends beyond any single community.
