200 Needy Muslims Receive Ramadan Food Support in Ashanti
About 200 vulnerable Muslims in the Ashanti Region have benefited from a Ramadan food distribution exercise organised by the Alpha Ridwan Media Charity Foundation with support from the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation.
The beneficiaries included widows, the elderly and low-income families who received food packages to support them during the holy month of Ramadan, a period when Muslims fast and engage in acts of charity.
The distribution was carried out in two phases to ensure that the items reached the beneficiaries in an orderly manner.
The first exercise took place at the Atwima Koforidua Central Mosque after Friday prayers, where 85 selected beneficiaries received food boxes containing items such as rice, cooking oil, pasta, sugar, salt and tea bags.
The second phase was held at the premises of Alpha Radio 104.9, where an additional 115 beneficiaries also received similar food packages.
In total, 200 food packages were distributed to needy Muslim households to help ease their burden during the fasting period.
Representatives of the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation supervised the exercise and expressed satisfaction with the organisation and transparency of the distribution process.
Speaking during the event, the President of the Alpha Ridwan Media Charity Foundation, Sheikh Mohammed Ridwan, expressed gratitude to the Türkiye Diyanet Foundation for supporting vulnerable Muslims in Ghana.
He noted that many Muslims in the Ashanti Region face economic challenges, especially during Ramadan, and appealed to donor organisations and humanitarian partners to expand future support so that more needy families can benefit.
Beneficiaries expressed appreciation to the organisers and donors, describing the support as timely and helpful for their families during the fasting month.
The initiative forms part of the foundation’s ongoing humanitarian efforts aimed at supporting vulnerable communities and promoting social welfare in Ghana.
