Back in 2016, when Australian expat Sumayyah Sayed put a fridge stocked with food and water on her front porch, she could never have imagined that two years down the line her baby step would take the shape of a giant community movement. Today, her initiative -dubbed as Ramadan Sharing Fridges - has over 27,000 members who have joined the campaign through Facebook.
The movement serves the less fortunate community workers and labourers with free food and drink during the holy month of Ramadan.
Its growing popularity can be gauged from the fact that 170 fridges were put out across Dubai in 2017. "This year, 30 fridges are listed already to start on the first day of Ramadan and the numbers would keep increasing every day till the start of Ramadan," Sumayyah told Khaleej Times.
What's more, with only 5,000 members on their Facebook page in 2016, the numbers have more than quadrupled now, thanks to social media which has been the driving factor to get the word around for the group.100 days to go before the start of Ramadan 2018 ?? #fillthefridge #1millionactsofgiving #mayourfridgesbeforeverfull #ramadanfridges2018

Residents interested in lending a helping hand to the cause can either open a fridge in their community or help in filling an existing one. "We share an updated list of fridge locations, marked on Google maps daily on our social media. Residents should ensure that there is no fridge in their vicinity. If there is, we advise them to team up to support and manage that fridge. Better a few full fridges in a community that plenty empty!"
2. What makes a good managerWANNA OPEN A FRIDGE ? . . Great but do you know what it means to be in charge of a fridge ? ?? . . HARD WORD ! 30 days of constant presence, commitment, dedication... be there, find people to fill the fridge, welcome the workers and offer smiles, keep the place clean... . . We do not wanna scare you BUT you can not say we did not warn you ???? . . Yet, if you have what it takes, it will be one of the most rewarding experience of your life ?? DO you think you can do it ?
