As Ramadan enters its third week, Muslim faithful in the country are still receiving alms as part a joint Ramadan campaign by MTN Uganda and Salam TV.
MTN Uganda and Salam TV have donated items to Kasana Health Center IV & Bagalana Masjid Mosque in Luwero District. The items donated included sugar, rice, prayer mats, Islamic tunic/garbs, cooking oil, wheat flour, bar soap, fruit juice, Qurans and salt.
“As a caring corporate company, we find it not only our right but also our responsibility to give back to our local communities and most especially those in need such as the vulnerable, the unfortunate and those who are unwell. We wish the Ugandan Muslim community a peaceful Ramadan season”. MTN Uganda said in a statement.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting to commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad according to Islamic belief.
Throughout Ramadan, MTN Uganda and Salam TV will continue conducting various activities to engage with Muslims all over Uganda.
