BMM Uganda - Mahe Ramadhan Food Distribution Report 1446 (2025)

In the spirit of giving and compassion, Bilal Muslim Oraganization of Uganda (BMOU) conducted a wide-reaching food distribution project across various rural communities in anticipation of Ramadhan 2025. The project aimed to support underprivileged Muslim families by providing essential food supplies to ease the burden of fasting and help them focus on their spiritual journey. 


With the help of our dedicated team and support from donors, each family received a well-prepared food package including key staples like flour, sugar, rice, beans, and dates. These supplies supported families through Suhoor and Iftar, making it possible for them to fast without worrying about their next meal.



“We felt the blessings of Ramadhan more deeply this year, knowing we had the support we needed to observe our fasts.”— A beneficiary from Bombo


“The food aid brought peace to our homes—our children went to bed full and happy.”— Community elder, Iganga


The project not only ensured food security during the fasting period but also uplifted the community spirit. Families were able to focus on spiritual reflection and religious duties, and the unity built through shared support strengthened community bonds.


A total of 3,000 food packages were distributed by a dedicated team of 9 volunteers, who traveled more than 1,500 kilometers across multiple rural locations in Uganda. Each package included maize flour, rice, beans, sugar, tea leaves, soap, oil, salt, dates, and milk. These packages were provided not only to individual families but also to several orphanages, ensuring that vulnerable children and caregivers were supported during the holy month. This effort enabled families and orphanage communities in remote areas to observe Ramadhan with dignity, comfort, and peace of mind.



The Ramadhan 2025 food distribution was more than a relief project—it was a reminder of the power of compassion and the importance of collective support. BMOU remains committed to expanding these efforts and supporting our communities beyond Ramadhan through vocational training, education, and sustainable development.


We sincerely thank all our supporters and volunteers who made this possible. May your contributions be accepted and rewarded abundantly.


MESSAGE FROM BMOU CHAIRMAN


As we reflect on the Ramadhan 2025 Food Relief Project, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to making this initiative a success. This sacred month reminds us of our duty to care for those in need, and through your support, we were able to bring comfort and dignity to hundreds of families.


Seeing the smiles on the faces of children and the relief in the eyes of parents has been deeply humbling. These moments reinforce our commitment to continue serving the less fortunate with compassion, integrity, and purpose.


On behalf of Bilal Muslim Organization of Uganda, I thank our donors, volunteers, and community leaders for their unwavering support. May Allah (SWT) accept your efforts and increase you in blessings.

BMM Tanzania Conducts Free Eye Camp in Tanga


The Bilal Muslim Mission of Tanzania (BMMT), in collaboration with the Member of Parliament for Tanga Urban Constituency, Hon. Ummy Mwalimu, successfully conducted a free three-day eye camp.


The camp was held at Usagara Secondary School from Saturday, April 5, 2025, to Monday, April 7, 2025, where a variety of eye care services were provided. These included eye screening, eye surgeries, distribution of spectacles, provision of prescriptions, and counseling on eye health. All services were offered free of charge.


Over the course of the three days, more than 3,240 people underwent eye screening. Of these, 255 individuals (equivalent to 7.9%) received various types of eye surgeries, including cataract surgery.



The graph above illustrates the number of individuals who underwent eye screening and eye surgeries during the free eye camp organized by BMMT in Tanga Region, held from April 5 to 7, 2025.



Speaking during the camp, Mama Keki, the Eye Camp Coordinator from BMMT, urged the public to prioritize eye care and to develop the habit of going for regular eye checkups.On her part, Hon. Ummy Mwalimu, MP for Tanga Urban, expressed her heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to BMMT and its partners for supporting the government’s efforts under the leadership of the President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Dr. Samia Suluhu Hassan, by organizing the camp and providing specialist eye care services in an accessible and convenient manner.


Tanga District Commissioner, Hon. Japhari Mghamba Kubecha, also praised Hon. Ummy Mwalimu for her advocacy and collaboration with BMMT in bringing vital eye care services to the residents of Tanga.


The residents of Tanga expressed sincere gratitude for the services received, stating that they were of great help, especially given the high cost of eye treatment, which many cannot afford.


BMMT extends its appreciation to the people of Tanga for adhering to the program schedule and maintaining discipline throughout the camp. This played a key role in ensuring the smooth and successful delivery of services.


Special thanks are extended to Mixx by YAS Tanzania, the main sponsor of the camp. BMMT also appreciates its partners, BETA Charitable Trust from the United Kingdom, for generously sponsoring the eye surgeries.


Gratitude are also extended to KSIJ Charitable Eye Centre, Africa Federation, the Office of the Member of Parliament for Tanga Urban, all government authorities in Tanga Region, and the entire coordination team led by Mama Keki and specialists from Tanga Regional Referral Hospital – Bombo, along with other hospitals. Their contributions and efforts led to the great success of this camp.


Their combined efforts and unwavering dedication were instrumental in the remarkable success of the camp.


Above all, we thank Allah Almighty and pray that He rewards abundantly all those who contributed generously to this noble cause. Insha’Allah.
