Coxs Bazar, a southern city in Bangladesh, wher most of the Rohingya refugees are staying in camps, is witnessing a merciless cold wave. There is little to comfort in terms of food and shelter. Two thousand miles away in Salambigar, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam, a container was loading Halal Chicken & Rice Meals Ready-to-Eat (MRE), manufactured in Brunei on the order of a leading UK Charity. Tayyib Meals Ready-to-Eat are BruneiHalal certified, do not require any cooking, 100% Natural and are highly nutritional. once they reach Coxs Bazar, these meals will be a lifeline to many Rohingya refugees.  

Saahtain Asia is a proud Brunei pioneering company in the region and has supported charities and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives globally since 2014.

Most aid is in the form of dry foods such as pulses and rice. But for those caught up in wars and natural disasters and in the case of Rohingya, displaced over to another country, it can be difficult to get hold of clean water and means of cooking such dry foods.

"Imagine that you are sitting in a make shift shelter with these dry rations in front of you. How are you going to cook? The absence of halal food relief globally, wher there is disaster, man-made or natural, it is next to impossible to get decent halal food to people who need it," says CEO of Saahtain Group, Adeel Khan.

Saahtain counts leading blue-chip corporates like HSBC, Citibank, PepsiCo amongst its clients who have successfully executed effective Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) campaigns with their Tayyib Halal MREs.

"We see ourselves as a growing member of the ASEAN Islamic Economy", says Khan, "Our business solves many pain points in the Halal Food sector. From feeding Muslim Travelers to Halal Humanitarian Food Relief, we are at the forefront delivering innovative solutions".  

Saahtain is the only producer of Halal Meals Ready-to-Eat in Brunei and provides over ninety (90) International recipes, many of them with three (3) years shelf life. Its unique and proprietary methods of preserving naturally cooked meals was used globally in situation like the aftermath of Gaza conflict to the catastrophic earthquake in Nepal to feeding the orphans in Ghana and now feeding displaced Rohingya Refugees.

In addition to its humanitarian Food Relief brand called Tayyib, Saahtain has also launched its Halal MREs sold online for Muslim travelers called AlGourmet. Saahtain successfully exhibited at the China Asean Expo, IDEX, the Abu Dhabi defense exhibition and will be showcasing its products at Japan Halal Expo, Tokyo in November.
