Subject: Food Aid for Ramadhan – 2021 in Uganda

In Uganda, most of the families lie below poverty line totaling to 68% and they depend on subsistence agriculture. In Uganda we have 2 planting seasons, March and July but sometimes the food harvested cannot sustain our people throughout the year to the next harvesting season. With the challenge of Covid-19, poor people have been greatly affected .AHD Islamic foundation has come up with this food aid proposal to help the poor people, windows and elderly. We expect to distribute food packs and also feed the people at the Mosque during this holy month.

I extend my deeply sincere thanks for your kind consideration on our proposal. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any requirements. It is important to note that the holy book (Quran) states that whosoever shall give in this period, he shall have a house in the Jana (paradise).
