SSEMCO, a leading supplier of rice and maize flour in Mubende, has marked the beginning of Ramadan with a significant donation to Mubende Town Mosque.
The company, spearheaded by its founder Mr. Moses Serugga, donated 12 (25kg) bags of rice and 6 (10kg) bags of maize flour, reaffirming its commitment to giving back to the community that has been instrumental in its success.
Speaking during the handover on Thursday, Mr. Serugga emphasized the deep bond between SSEMCO and the Muslim community.
“Muslims have been and continue to be among our most valued customers. Their unwavering support throughout the years has played a crucial role in our growth. This donation is our way of expressing gratitude and standing in solidarity with them during this sacred month of Ramadan,” he said.
The generous act was met with appreciation and praise from Amiri Wabusimba, the Advocacy and Communication Specialist at the Uganda Muslim Medical Bureau (UMMB), who lauded SSEMCO’s spirit of giving.
“It is truly inspiring to witness acts of kindness that transcend religious boundaries. This generosity reflects the essence of true brotherhood and unity. As Muslims, we too must embrace the responsibility of uplifting others not just during Ramadan,” Wabusimba remarked.
He further encouraged the Muslim community to uphold a culture of sustained generosity, ensuring that the spirit of giving continues beyond Ramadan.
As a representative at the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council (UMSC) Headquarters under UMMB, he pledged to engage the Office of the District Kadhi to amplify such charitable initiatives.

The congregation at Mubende Town Mosque received the donation with heartfelt prayers, invoking Allah’s blessings upon Mr. Serugga and SSEMCO, asking for continued prosperity, good health, and divine favor.
Through this act of goodwill, SSEMCO has reinforced its role not just as a business, but as a pillar of community support, inspiring others to extend kindness and generosity in their own ways.
