	More About Us We are situated at an ideal area in Ladysmith as it is in walking distance from low-income areas and an industrial area, so both poor households and low-income factory workers come to get food from us. This helps us achieve our livelihood promotion goals.
		Our Products and Services Al Baaz Al Ashab's primary mission is to alleviate hunger and poverty by directly distributing food items and relief packages to lower income households so that they can focus on livelihood promotion goals. We aim to accomplish this by mobilizing available resources efficiently combined with voluntary community engagement. How we mobilize our resources efficiently is by buying raw materials in large quantities at wholesale prices thereby taking advantages of economies of scale, in addition to relying on our generous donors for supplies. We then create employment by hiring our own staff to make large quantities of the food and we then distribute it for free. What this does is it allows us to get the most out of our rand as we possibly can. Using this strategy, we distribute cooked meals 6 days a week.
