MTN Ghana and Mobile Money Limited have donated food items and cash valued at GH¢200,000 to the Muslim community in the Western Region to support them as they near the end of their fasting period.
The donation, which included bags of rice, cooking oil, water, biscuits and assorted drinks, forms part of the companies’ longstanding annual tradition of supporting Muslims during Ramadan.
Speaking at the presentation, Corporate Services Advisor for Southern Ghana, Kennedy Ofosuhen, said the gesture was aimed at reaffirming the company’s strong relationship with the Muslim community.
“This is something we have been doing consistently for the past 15 to 20 years. It is our way of showing appreciation to the Muslim community and supporting them as they come close to the end of their fasting,” he said.
He noted that beyond the donation, the company values the prayers and spiritual support of the Muslim faithful.
“We also ask that they remember us in their prayers for wisdom, growth of our business and continued success in all our endeavours,” he added.
Mr. Ofosuhen explained that the package included both food items and a cash donation of GH¢100,000, bringing the total value of support to GH¢200,000.
Receiving the items, the Western Regional Chief Imam, Alhaj Zulkifil Abdul Waheed, commended MTN for its consistency and generosity towards the Muslim ummah.
He emphasised that Islam places high value on charity and supporting the needy, especially during Ramadan.
“Our Prophet Mohammad taught that when someone does good to you and you cannot repay, you should pray for that person’s progress”.
