The Office of the National Chairman (ONC) Manager, Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye, has extended her Ramadan food distribution initiative to Muslim communities in Kyambogo-Banda and Mutungo, emphasizing compassion, responsible family life, and community solidarity during the holy fasting period.

Hajjat Namyalo, who also serves as Senior Presidential Advisor on Political Affairs began the outreach at Masjid Abubakar – Al Swaddiq in Kyambogo-Banda, where she handed over assorted food items to mosque leaders to support Muslim families observing the fasting month of Ramadan.

She later proceeded to Masjid Taqwa in Mutungo Zone Four, where she delivered similar food packages to members of the Muslim community to assist them during the fasting period.

Speaking during the handover ceremonies, SPA Namyalo said the initiative was aimed at ensuring that Muslim families can break their fast with dignity while strengthening the spirit of unity and compassion that defines Ramadan.

“Ramadan is a month of reflection, charity, and community support. These food packages are meant to ensure that families in our communities can break their fast with dignity and joy. The spirit of Ramadan reminds us to give and care for one another,” she said.

Hajjat Namyalo also used the opportunity to counsel men in the communities on responsible family life. She urged them to marry only the number of wives they can adequately support, both materially and emotionally, noting that responsible family leadership contributes to stronger and more stable communities.

“Marriage is a sacred responsibility. Men should marry wives they can manage to support emotionally, spiritually, and materially. This ensures stronger families and healthier communities,” she added.

Leaders at the mosques welcomed the initiative, describing the support as timely relief for vulnerable families during the fasting period.

Muslims said the donation would help many households observe Ramadan with dignity, while also commending Ms Namyalo for using the opportunity to promote responsible family values within the community.

Hajjat Namyalo said the Ramadan outreach forms part of her broader efforts under the Office of the National Chairman to support community welfare and promote values that strengthen families and social cohesion.

She concluded her visit by encouraging residents to use the holy month to show kindness to neighbours and promote harmony within their families and communities.
