Kinyara Sugar Limited, a company known for its deep-rooted culture of compassion, generosity, and unity, has once again demonstrated its commitment to giving back during the holy month of Ramadhan.
To strengthen the relations between people residing in sugarcane-growing communities, the management of Kinyara Sugar Limited has donated sugar to Masindi Muslims to support their welfare during this auspicious month.
Through its Corporate Communications Manager, Aldon Walukamba, Kinyara Sugar Limited has distributed sugar worth millions to different clerics and community leaders in Masindi district.
The donations were delivered on behalf of the General Manager Ravi Ramalingam, by Kinyara’s Corporate Communications Manager Aldon Walukamba, to Chairman Masindi Town Muslim Community Sheik Ssozi Yahaya Abdunuru and Imam Abdul Muki, the Khadhi of Bujenje County in Masindi district.
Aldon Walukamba expressed appreciation for the growing relationship between the two institutions in Masindi district and promised continued support from Kinyara Sugar Limited.
He also appealed to the leaders representing different communities to ensure that the donation reaches and benefits the most deserving, emphasizing the importance of compassion and generosity during Ramadan.
The clerics who received the donation expressed gratitude for Kinyara Sugar Limited’s support for Muslims in various areas. Sheikh Abdul Muki, the Imam of Kabango Mosque, appreciated the strong ties between Kinyara Sugar Limited and Bujenje County and prayed for their endurance.
Sheik Ssozi Yahaya Abdunuru acknowledged Kinyara Sugar Limited’s support for food security, education, and economic development among Muslims in Masindi district.
This is manifested in the infrastructure development, farming, education, health, environment, sports, and jobs rendered to people in Uganda.
Ramadhan, the holy month of fasting, officially began for Muslims on March 10, 2024, and is expected to end with Eid celebrations on April 9 or 10, 2024. During this month, Muslims observe fasting from dawn to sunset, refraining from food and drink, and engaging in acts of worship, self-reflection, and charity.
Giving back and helping those in need are fundamental principles of Ramadhan, and it is considered a time of increased compassion, generosity, and unity among Muslims worldwide.
At the center of this spirit of compassion, generosity, and unity is Kinyara Sugar Limited’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which supports values and inspires communities in Uganda.
