Absa Kenya Foundation Ramadhan donations this year stand at Ksh. 3 million, towards supporting the vulnerable in the community during the Holy month of Ramadhan. This is part of the Foundation’s commitment to being a force for good in the community. Working closely with the Muslim community associations and the local mosques, the donations, which are being done countrywide, will see over 800 households receive foodstuffs and other supplies reaching over 2,400 livelihoods in Nairobi, Garissa, Kisumu, Isiolo, Bungoma, Eldoret, Murang’a, Kajiado, Oyugis and Nkurumah impacted.
Speaking during one of the donations in Kibra, Absa Bank Kenya’s Chief Finance Officer Yusuf Omari reaffirmed the Foundation’s dedication in ensuring they make a difference among the vulnerable communities even beyond Ramadhan.
“We are honoured to be here today to share in the spirit of Ramadhan which emphasises generosity and compassion. Just as we believe in inclusivity even in our solutions as a Bank, we also believe in uplifting those in need during this period so that they too can break their fast with dignity,” said Mr. Omari.
While receiving the donations, the Deputy Chief Kadhi of the Shariah Board, Sheikh Sukyan Omar, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the Absa Kenya Foundation’s generosity and commitment to supporting vulnerable communities during the Holy Month of Ramadhan. He emphasized the significance of such contributions in fostering unity, compassion, and uplifting those in need during this sacred period.
“We are grateful that Absa Kenya Foundation has come to walk the journey with the vulnerable especially during this period of Ramadhan. The donated food will go a long way in alleviating suffering among the needy,” said Sheikh Omar.
The Foundation has so far donated foodstuffs to Gilgil, Mukuru, Juja, Kariobangi, and Kawangware and is expected to continue with the donations until the end of Ramadhan, reaching more vulnerable families and fostering community well-being.
