Soma Sitaba Foundation Ramadan Food Basket Update
The Executive Committee of the Sitaba Foundation, under the leadership of Ndey Ceesay, convened today, 6th March 2026, at Ramadan Restaurant to review the funds raised for the Ramadan Food Basket initiative and to determine the number of beneficiaries and the distribution plan.
The total cash available for this activity currently stands at D52,000. This amount includes the generous donations received today from Hatab Sanneh (D500), Ya Haddy Saidybah (D1,000), and D3,450 from an anonymous donor in the United States, kindly facilitated through Saikou Darboe.
After careful deliberation, the committee agreed that the distribution will take place on Sunday at 10:00 AM.
Each beneficiary family will receive:
• One (1) bag of 25kg rice, and
• D1,000 in cash support
A total of 20 families have been selected to benefit from this Ramadan support package. The cost of one bag of rice is D900, bringing the estimated total expenditure for the food basket distribution to approximately D38,000.
The remaining balance, together with any additional donations received, will be dedicated to supporting the Sitaba Foundation’s Annual Iftar at Soma Regional Hospital, where meals are provided to patients, caregivers, and hospital staff during the blessed month of Ramadan.
The Sitaba Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to all donors and supporters who have contributed to this noble cause. Your generosity continues to bring relief, dignity, and hope to families in need during this sacred month.
Ramadan is a time of compassion, charity, and community solidarity. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that whoever feeds a fasting person will receive a reward equal to that of the fasting person, without the fasting person’s reward being diminished in the slightest. Supporting families with food during Ramadan ensures that those observing the fast can break it with dignity and nourishment, while also strengthening the spirit of brotherhood and care within our communities.
Donations are still open, and we encourage anyone willing to support this initiative to contribute. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps us reach more families and extend the blessings of Ramadan to those who need it most.
May Allah reward all donors abundantly and accept this effort as an act of charity and service to humanity.
