More than 3,500 residents of the 20 local government areas of Bauchi State have benefited from the Ramadan support programme of Wunti Al-Khair Foundation, a Bauchi based non-governmental.
The Organisation’s Programme Manager, Ango Mustapha, said that the beneficiaries who are mostly less privileged and poorest of the poor in the communities. According to him, the intervention cut across food items and non-food materials.
The programme, he said, was guided by “the principles and values of our Chairman and Founder, Dr. Bala Wunti, which are compassion, generosity, and social responsibility, over the years have provided sustainable interventions that improve lives, foster unity, and promote development.
“As part of our annual Ramadan Support Programme, we have implemented several impactful initiatives aimed at ensuring that the less privileged, fasting Muslims, and the broader Bauchi community experience the blessings of Ramadan with dignity and ease.
“In our ongoing effort to combat hunger and food insecurity, the Foundation has distributed over 20,000 bags of rice across the 20 LGA in Bauchi State. This initiative ensures that families have access to essential food supplies throughout Ramadan.”
Mustapha said that the Foundation also provided over 3,000 cooked meals daily to fasting Muslims in various communities across Bauchi, offering nourishment to those in need and fostering a spirit of communal support.
He added that opportunities have been provided for over 200 children to participate in Quran recitation at the Eid ground during Ramadan. This initiative encourages young Muslims to deepen their connection with the Holy Quran while also providing food for them and other members of the Muslim ummah around the filin idi community.
“In the spirit of Eid, we are distributing thousands of new clothes to the less privileged, ensuring that many individuals, especially children, can celebrate with dignity and joy.
“To enhance the spiritual experience of Ramadan, the Foundation has sponsored the broadcast of Quranic Tafsirs by esteemed Islamic scholars across major radio and TV stations. This ensures that many individuals, including those who may not have access to physical gatherings, can benefit from valuable Islamic teachings,” he said.
One of the beneficiaries, Auwal Khadija expressed gratitude to the organisation for the gesture. “You can see, this is 25kg of rice. It is clean with no stones. This is a lot to my family and we are grateful to Bala Wunti.”
