Absa Kenya Foundation Contributes KES 3 Million to Aid Vulnerable Communities This Ramadhan

The Absa Kenya Foundation has pledged KES 3 million to support vulnerable communities during the Holy Month of Ramadhan, reaffirming its commitment to being a force for good.

In collaboration with Muslim community associations and local mosques, the Foundation is distributing food and essential supplies to over 800 households, benefiting more than 2,400 people across the country.

The donations are being carried out in Nairobi, Garissa, Kisumu, Isiolo, Bungoma, Eldoret, Murang’a, Kajiado, Oyugis, and Nkurumah.

Speaking during a donation drive in Kibra, Absa Bank Kenya’s Chief Finance Officer, Yusuf Omari, emphasized the importance of extending kindness and support to those in need during Ramadhan.

“We are honoured to be here today to share in the spirit of Ramadhan, which emphasises generosity and compassion. Just as we believe in inclusivity in our banking solutions, we also believe in uplifting those in need during this period so they too can break their fast with dignity,” said Mr. Omari.

Deputy Chief Kadhi of the Shariah Board, Sheikh Sukyan Omar, lauded the Foundation for its support, acknowledging the positive impact of the donations on struggling families.

“We are grateful that Absa Kenya Foundation has come to walk this journey with the vulnerable, especially during Ramadhan. The donated food will go a long way in alleviating suffering among the needy,” said Sheikh Omar.

So far, the Foundation has extended its donations to communities in Gilgil, Mukuru, Juja, Kariobangi, and Kawangware, with plans to continue the initiative until the end of Ramadhan.

The contribution underscores Absa Kenya Foundation’s ongoing efforts to support communities in need, reinforcing the essence of generosity and solidarity during the sacred month.
