Saraki Foundation To Begin Distribution Of Iftar Meals In Kwara, Borno, Bauchi, 4 Other States Today
The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation, a non-governmental organization, will as part of its commitment to supporting underserved communities begin the distribution of iftar meals to Muslims today which will continue until the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
‘The initiative, a regular feature of the Foundation’s Ramadan activities, is designed to support vulnerable members of the Muslim community and ensure that more people can break their fast with nutritious meals during the holy month.
This year’s programme will take place in Niger, Sokoto, Bauchi, Borno, Kaduna, Plateau, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), where iftar meals will be provided daily at two mosques in each of the states with 100 fasting Muslims expected to benefit per mosque every day.
In Kwara State, where the Foundation has traditionally maintained its widest outreach, the feeding programme will be held at 52 mosques across the state and iftar meals will be provided for thousands of Muslims during this period’ Dr. Audu Idowu Musa, who is the Executive Director of the Foundation, submitted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com on Sunday.
Dr. Audu Idowu Musa also noted that the holy month provides an opportunity for those who are able to support others and strengthen the bonds within communities.
‘At a time when the economic strain on many households has become increasingly evident, even providing a simple meal has grown more difficult than ever before, and the burden is felt most deeply by the vulnerable within our communities. It is in times like these that the importance of compassion and looking out for one another becomes even clearer. Acts of support, however modest, can bring relief and remind people that they are not alone in these challenging times’ he said.
The Executive Director added that the Ramadan feeding programme reflects the ABS Foundation’s long-standing commitment to supporting vulnerable communities.
‘Over the years, the ABS Foundation has implemented initiatives in areas such as humanitarian support, education, healthcare and community development, with the Ramadan outreach serving as one of its key annual interventions’ he said.
The Foundation noted that volunteers and community leaders in the aforementioned states have already begun to coordinate and make arrangements with the respective mosque committees to ensure smooth and orderly distribution as the programme commences during the last 10 days of Ramadan.
The Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation also urged Nigerians to use the holy month of Ramadan to pray for peace, unity, and progress for the nation-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
