Absa Kenya Foundation has committed Sh3 million towards supporting the vulnerable in the community during the Holy month of Ramadhan.
Working closely with the Muslim community associations and the local mosques, the donations, which are being done countrywide, will see at least 800 households receive foodstuffs and other supplies reaching over 2,400 livelihoods in Nairobi, Garissa, Kisumu, Isiolo, Bungoma, Eldoret, Murang’a, Kajiado, Oyugis and Nkurumah impacted.
Absa Bank Kenya’s Chief Finance Officer Yusuf Omari said the Foundation is dedicated in making a difference among the vulnerable communities even after Ramadhan.
“We are honoured to be here today to share in the spirit of Ramadhan which emphasises generosity and compassion. Just as we believe in inclusivity even in our solutions as a Bank, we also believe in uplifting those in need during this period so that they too can break their fast with dignity,” said Mr. Omari.

The donated food will go a long way in alleviating suffering among the needy.”
The Foundation has so far donated foodstuffs to Gilgil, Mukuru, Juja, Kariobangi and Kawangware and is expected to continue with the donations until the end of Ramadhan.
