Airtel Uganda has today opened up a nation-wide strategy to give back to the Muslim community during this holy month as a true spirit of Ramadan at this special time.
Bags equipped with food stuff were distributed to numbers of Muslims at Wandegeya mosque under the telecoms corporate social responsibility programme to help them prepare for iftar meals and this will be going all through the entire fasting period.
Commenting during the handover, Mr. Ali Balunywa the Airtel Uganda Sales & Marketing Director said: “We would like to take this opportunity to greet you all on the blessed occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan. This month presents a special time for our organization to communicate and interact with the community through our charitable programs. Every year at Airtel we prove that we are a company that pioneers in the social involvement, where we play a big role to give back to the community.”
Balunywa went on to explain that, just like every year, Airtel will be sharing the joys of Ramadan by distributing food stuffs every week throughout this holy month to the underprivileged in over 24 mosques across the country. The company specifically chose highly populated areas to reach out to the maximum number of people. Some of the districts earmarked for Ramadan donations include Kampala, Masaka, Mbale, Mbarara, Lira, Kamuli, Fortportal, Gulu, Iganga, Hoima, Jinja, Arua, Tororo, Kabale and many others.
