Street food stands become charity project for Ramadan

CAIRO - It is after midnight at a main street in the classy Heliopolis suburb of Egypt's capital Cairo, when a crowd gathers around a food stand on a sidewalk.

They are attracted to the "Bean Cart", a small street food stand that serves the traditional pre-fasting meal, known as Suhur, during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

Although bean carts are popular in Egypt during Ramadan, this one is unique as it is operated by a group of highly educated young Egyptians, who hope to use part of the revenues for charitable activities.
