Karmic
Angels, a UK foundation and the Sir Farimang Singhateh Foundation have jointly
embarked on free bread distribution to needy Muslims. The distribution was held
at Fagi Kunda on Saturday.
The
two foundations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide support
to the needy. The foundations distributed 360 loaves of bread worth two
thousand, five hundred and twenty dalasis (D2, 520).
Mohamed
Touray, country fundraising coordinator for Kamic Angels- The Gambia Chapter
said the two foundations requested financial assistance from donors in order to
help the needy in this holy month of Ramadan.
“When
we accumulated the resources from benefactors, we deemed it necessary to
purchase loaves of bread and distribute it among needy Muslims,” he said.
He
added that the two charitable organizations are helping the people in this holy
month of Ramadan because many of them lack the financial capacity to buy bread
for their families.
Kemo
Kitabou Singhateh, representative of Sir Farimang Singhateh foundation said the
gesture is part of continuing the legacy of the late Sir Farimang Singhateh,
saying that they believe that it is essential to provide for the poor.
Mod
Lamin Jatta, one of the beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the foundations
for providing the gesture to them, saying the bread distribution came at the
right time.
