Sheikh Abudul Mbewe of Likoma Mosque commended the organization for the donation which he described as a timely intervention towards reducing starvation in the district.

“We are thankful for the food items as they will help less privileged families to have food and we welcomed the initiative,” said Mbewe.

Ward Councilor for Likoma Island, Ernest Gulu thanked the organization for the support which he said will go a long way in complementing other social support programs in the district.

One of the beneficiaries, Regina Mgada said that the assistance has come at the right time when she had no food to provide for her family.

“I am thankful to the organization, I did not have anything to provide for my family and many people here we are depending on mangoes as main food. May Allah bless these people so that they continue assisting us,” said Mgada.
