BMK Group and its partners have gifted two hectares of land to Muslim refugees in Kiryandongo for a new cemetery. The donation came through a joint effort with Salam TV and Salam Charity.
Religious leaders and officials gathered at a Salam Jumah event to mark the handover. Sheikh Siraj Kifampa led prayers and spoke about burial grounds as sacred spaces for remembrance.
"These sites offer spiritual rewards that continue after death," Sheikh Kifampa said at the ceremony.
Hajji Haruna Kibirige from BMK Group pledged ongoing support for humanitarian projects. Salam Charity's Hajji Karim Kaliisa asked the community to help develop the cemetery.
The district's Muslim leader, Sheikh Habib, thanked the donors but pointed to other needs. He cited food shortages and gaps in education among the pressing issues at the refugee camp.
Local official Aliguma Edith Adyeri praised the gift and urged Muslim residents to join education programs and participate in government growth plans.
The cemetery project began under the late Hajji BMK to create proper burial sites for Muslims across Uganda. The partner organizations promised more aid for refugees and those in need.
