A team from Food for All Africa and MaxMart Family Shopping Centre paid a courtesy call on the National Chief Imam, His Eminence Dr. Sheikh Osmanu Nuhu Sharubutu to officially inform him and seek his blessings on the 2021 Ramadan “Feed the Ummah Project”.
“Feed the Ummah” is an initiative by Food for All Africa and MaxMart Family Shopping Centre aimed at encouraging the public to relieve the vulnerable in Ramadan and feed a family for an entire month, ensuring they receive all the essential nutrients they desperately need.
Inspired by the Holy Quran chapter 76:8-9 “The righteous are those who give food in spite of love for it to the needy, the orphan and the captive saying we feed you for the sake of Allah alone. We seek from you neither reward nor thanks.”
Feed the Ummah 2021 would provide support to over 5,000 families across Zongo communities with food bags, daily iftar meals and basic supplies.
The public can support the project by donating food stuffs into designated trolleys at all MaxMart branches or call Food for All office lines for donations to be picked up from any part of the country.
