In aspirit of giving and sharing, the Coordinator Office of National Chairman (ONC) Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, ha announced a massive street Iftar for Kampala dwellers on March 20th.
Organized under the theme “Abaavu Tweyambe”, the street Iftar will feature multiple serving stations along Buganda Road, City Square, and Central Police Station (CPS), which will act as the event’s central hub.
The event, open to both Muslims and non-Muslims in Kampala, is particularly focused on assisting the less fortunate, ensuring that those who may struggle to afford a meal during Ramadan receive adequate nourishment.
“We are creating an opportunity for people from all walks of life to come together, share a meal, and gain knowledge. This has been in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, but now it is coming to Kampala,” Hajjat Namyalo stated.
“Ramadan is a time for reflection, prayer, and unity. As the Office of the National Chairman, we are honored to host this Iftar, and we hope it brings people together in the spirit of compassion and faith. The event is free, open to all, and non-partisan, with the primary focus on fostering a sense of togetherness and spirituality among Muslims and non-Muslims,” she added.
The ONC Manager encouraged the public to attend despite their political or social affiliation.
“Let us all come together, irrespective of our political beliefs, because poverty has no colors,” she noted.
The ONC street Iftar is expected to attract large crowds, providing not just a meal but also an opportunity to strengthen the bonds within the Muslim community as they observe this sacred period, and as such, security and logistical plans have been finalized, with the Uganda Police pledging support for traffic management and crowd control to guarantee safety for all attendees.
Last week, her campaign provided essential food supplies to several mosques, including Masjid Katangawuzi in Nansana, Masjid Taqwa in Kakiri, and Masjid Saeed Al Majdour in Kasangati.
The relief packages consisted of staple foods such as rice, posho, spaghetti, sugar, beans, cooking oil, and milk, ensuring that Muslim families could observe their fasts without food insecurity.
The upcoming street Iftar is yet another demonstration of Museveni’s commitment through ONC to supporting communities in need, reinforcing values of unity, charity, and shared humanity during the blessed month of Ramadan.
