Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 26934, member: 2262"] Fatou Kinteh from the Gender, Children, and Social Welfare Ministry kicked off a Ramadan Aid program worth D10 million for families facing hardship. This food assistance reaches 1,417 households that need help during the holy month. Africa Relief and Community Development provides these essential supplies as part of its mission to fight poverty across The Gambia. It focuses mainly on helping women and children who face difficult circumstances. Many Gambians struggle with higher food prices during Ramadan. This program ensures families can observe their religious practices with enough resources. The aid packages contain basic items like rice, sugar, and cooking oil to feed hungry families throughout the month. Similar help extends beyond Gambian borders to needy communities in neighboring Casamance, Senegal, and Sierra Leone. Minister Kinteh praised these charitable efforts that support government work. She emphasized how these donations reach remote villages where help rarely arrives. The Minister gladly participated in launching the program because it serves those most in need. She thanked all contributors who make these humanitarian projects possible through their generous donations. Mohammad Maani leads ARCD operations as West Africa Regional Director. He explained how their organization views these food baskets as both practical assistance and religious duty. According to Maani, distributing food during Ramadan follows the teachings of Prophet Muhammad. The government welcomes more partners to join similar efforts that improve social welfare throughout The Gambia. [/QUOTE]
