TUKUNYATA SIRRINA Organizes Iftar for Less Privileges in Kano
By Mustapha Salisu
A non-governmental organization, ‘Tukunyata Sirrina’ in conjunction with Anatomia Ltd organized and celebrated Iftar (Ramadan Breakfast) with vulnerable groups, almajiris, Persons With Disabilities and out-of-school children in Kano State.
The event which took place on Saturday, 31st March 2024 at Yusuf Maitama Sule University Kano, coincides with the launch of Future of Women’s Health Empowerment and Resilience (HER) initiative by both organizations.
PRIME TIME NEWS gathered that vulnerable groups in Kano have limitless potential. The HER future initiative is dedicated to unlocking that potential.
Founder of ‘Tukunyata Sirrina’ Mrs Aisha Shehu Buhari while speaking to PRIME TIME NEWS after the event disclosed the Iftar aims to give back to society the little she has as well as to put a smile on the faces of the less privileged.
“We organized this iftar for the less privileged in order to draw them closer to us by feasting and chatting with them as well as assuring them that they can also be treated with care like any other person”
She further disclosed that this event is an annual event and this is the 3rd of its type, which gathered 50 almajiris and also 50 PWDs including women from the streets.
Mrs Buhari admonished that this year’s iftar is commendable as dignitaries present at the event like the VC of Yusuf Maitama Sule University and Prof. Hadiza Galadanci donated money and clothes.
Mrs Buhari however extended a call to the Government and other philanthropists to also intervene in this program of feeding the less privileged as whosoever feeds another in need, secures himself a ticket of bountiful rewards in heaven
“As for you the students, sharing is not for government or philanthropists alone, you can as well based on your capacity buy a biscuit of N20 for instance and invite your colleague to share with you”
“If we imbibe the culture of sharing, our society will gloom with love and unity” Aisha disclosed.
Some of the beneficiaries who spoke to PRIME TIME NEWS Ibrahim Yunus and Zulaiha Garba expressed their gratitude to the Host of the Iftar and extended their call to the government and philanthropists to also emulate her.
