The Wunti Al-Khair Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to uplifting communities through humanitarian and empowerment initiatives has reiterated its committed to supporting the well-being of individuals, particularly during the Holy Month of Ramadan.
The organization, guided by the principles and values of its Chairman and Founder, Dr. Bala Wunti, which are compassion, generosity, and social responsibility, over the years have provided sustainable interventions that improved lives, foster unity, and promote development.
The disclosure was made by the organization during a press conference addressed by the Director of Programmes, Ango Mustapha on Wednesday.
According to him, “As part of our annual Ramadan Support Programme, we have implemented several impactful initiatives aimed at ensuring that the less privileged, fasting Muslims, and the broader Bauchi community experienced the blessings of Ramadan with dignity and ease.”
Ango Mustapha stated that key initiatives under the Ramadan Support Programme included rice distribution done in the ongoing effort to combat hunger and food insecurity, the Foundation distributed over 20,000 bags of rice across the 20 LGA in Bauchi State.
The initiative ensured that families have access to essential food supplies throughout Ramadan just as it provided over 3,000 cooked meals daily to fasting Muslims in various communities across Bauchi, offering nourishment to those in need and fostering a spirit of communal support.
Also, in the acts of random kindness to support structured distributions, it engaged in spontaneous acts of kindness, ensuring that those often overlooked—such as street workers, security personnel, Muslim students society in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, Federal polytechnic Bauchi, Abubakar Tatari Ali Polytechnic, College of Education Kangere and individuals with special needs—felt valued and supported.
The Foundation has also created a unique opportunity for over 200 children to participate in Quran recitation (Daura) at the Eid ground during Ramadan, an initiative encouraging young Muslims to deepen their connection with the Holy Quran while also providing food for them and other members of the Muslim ummah around the filin idi community.
In the spirit of Eid, the organization is distributing thousands of new clothes to the less privileged, ensuring that many individuals, especially children, can celebrate with dignity and joy.
To enhance the spiritual experience of Ramadan, the Foundation has sponsored the broadcast of Quranic Tafsirs by esteemed Islamic scholars across major radio and TV stations to ensure that many individuals, including those who may not have access to physical gatherings, can benefit from valuable Islamic teachings.
For Eid celebration coordination and recognizing the importance of safety and organization during Eid, the Foundation has trained volunteers in crowd control strategies, traffic management, emergency response preparedness, and the role of volunteerism.
These measures are crucial for maintaining order, ensuring security, and fostering a peaceful atmosphere for worshippers.
He added that, “Additionally, as a token of appreciation, we have extended support to those who dedicate their time and efforts to serving others during Sallah, ensuring they can also observe the celebrations with ease.”
“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our volunteers, agents, and ambassadors whose unwavering support made this programme a success,”
He also commended the media for “amplifying our message and ensuring that stories of kindness and impact reach far and wide. Your role in helping us sensitize members of the public against fraudsters wrongfully collecting money from members of the public to be eligible to benefit from the foundation’s initiatives has been invaluable.”
He concluded,”As we reflect on this month of mercy, Wunti Al-Khair Foundation remains committed to sustained humanitarian efforts beyond Ramadan. Together, we can build a society where kindness is a daily practice, not just a seasonal gesture.”
