The Christ Evangelical and Life Intercessory Ministry, Sabon Tasha in Kaduna State, has donated hundreds of bags of food to the poor and underprivileged Muslims.The General Overseer of the Church, Pastor Yohanna Buru while presenting the items to the beneficiaries said, “We are also reciprocating the gesture of Hajiya Ramatu Tijjani, a Muslim woman, who shares bags of rice, cash, and new clothes to church widows and orphans during Christmas, New Year, and Easter celebrations,” he stated.The recipients of the items donated by the church were mostly almajiri beggars under the aegis of the Association of Persons With Disabilities.

According to him, last year, the church donated bags of rice, and other food items to over 5 states in the country to enable underprivileged Muslims to have something when breaking their fast.

He added, “This year, we have added mats and plastic kettles so they could stay at home and pray to God to end the rising problems of insecurity, high inflation, and other problems bedevilling the peace and stability in the country.

“We are targeting over 1,000 poor Muslims as we bought 50 bags of maize and millets to share in the scheme’s first phase.”

He further pleaded with well-meaning individuals to support the less privileged, the clergyman urged traders to abstain from arbitrary increases in food prices during the holy month of Ramadan.One of the leaders of the Association of People Living with Disabilities in the state, Mallam Hassan Mohammed, expressed his gratitude over the gesture.“We really appreciate our Christian brothers and sisters because the help they rendered came at a time of need when no one was bothered about us,” he said.ALSO READ: Christian Aid Appreciates the British For Their Support
