On Friday, March 6, 2026, we once again demonstrated our strong commitment to community welfare during the blessed month of Ramadan by distributing over D150,000 worth of essential food supplies to the people of Bakau.

The food distribution included bags of rice, cooking oil, and sugar, benefiting over 85 individuals, mainly the widows, orphans, Imams, and other vulnerable members of the community. This initiative aimed to ease the burden on families and ensure that those in need could also share in the blessings of Ramadan.

We remains committed to strengthening community support and continuing our humanitarian efforts beyond the Ramadan period, in line with our mission of serving humanity and promoting compassion and unity.
