In the United Arab Emirates, individuals often make various donations of goods and services during the month of Ramadan, during which common acts include the giving of alms and inviting families from disadvantaged backgrounds to break fast at the end of the day. Some of the organizations that distribute alms to underserved communities in the UAE are government ministries; others are nonprofits.
