Nandala Foundation donates food to 102 Mosques and Mutufu prison

By By Ahmed Idriss

Muslims in 102 mosques across Budadiri West, Sironko District, and inmates at Mutufu Prison on Wednesday March 12 received Iftar food donations to support them this Ramadhan.  

The donation included 4,700 kg of maize flour, 3,200 kg of sugar, and an additional 100 kg of rice, 100 kg of sugar, and two cartons of soap specifically for Mutufu Prison. The items were handed over by Rev. Jackson Magombe, the personal assistant to Budadiri West Member of Parliament Nathan Nandala-Mafabi and Director of Operations at the Nandala Foundation.  

While receiving the donation, Sheikh Abdul-Hakim Nassur Mugoya, the Kadhi of Sironko and Bulambuli Muslim Districts, appreciated Nandala for consistently supporting the Muslim community, especially during Ramadhan.  

“This act shows that we should have the heart to think about others struggling to break their fast—not because we have plenty, but because giving is a virtue. God loves a giving hand, and the more you give, the more He blesses you,” Mugoya said.  

He urged Muslims to remain steadfast in their fasting and continue doing good deeds as Ramadhan progresses.  

Rev. Magombe emphasized that the donation was a gesture of goodwill, not politics, highlighting Nandala’s commitment to supporting the community every Ramadhan.  

“Even if you have little, share with others. You don’t have to be at Nandala’s level to give. Ramadhan is a time for sharing whatever you have,” he said.  

He also commended the Muslim community for their positive relationship with the Nandala Foundation and their cooperation and hospitality.  

Nandala-Mafabi has made similar donations in previous years.
