Salam Charity Uganda has continued its efforts to support various initiatives nationwide, focusing on education and Islamic development. In a recent gesture, the charity handed over cheques worth UGX 10 million to Rwensinga Primary School in Ntungamo and UGX 5 million to Albayaan Quran Memorisation Centre in Iganga to boost their construction projects.
According to Hajji Karim Kaliisa, Managing Director of Salam Charity and Salam TV, while the charity's flagship project focuses on developing Katakwi Muslims, it remains committed to supporting other initiatives, including Rwensinga Primary School and Albayaan Quran Memorisation Centre. "Our flagship project focuses on developing Katakwi Muslims, but we continue supporting other initiatives, like Rwensinga Primary School in Ntungamo and Albayaan Quran Memorisation Centre in Iganga.”
The support for Rwensinga Primary School comes after a successful campaign by the school's Old Boys and Girls (OBs and OGs) to mobilize contributions for its development. Salam Charity recognized the efforts and pledged support, acknowledging the school's historical significance in Ntungamo. "After a successful campaign to mobilize Old Boys and Girls for contributions, Salam Charity recognized our efforts and pledged support," said the school's Coordinator.
The Head Teacher of Rwensinga Primary School expressed gratitude for the support and promised to use the funds effectively to complete the project. "We're grateful to Salam Charity for supporting our construction project; we pledge to use the funds effectively to complete it."
In addition to supporting educational initiatives, Salam Charity's efforts have also been recognized by prominent Muslim leaders. Imam Kajiko, representing the Mufti of Uganda and the Regional Qadhi of Ankole-Kigezi, praised the charity's impactful work for Muslims nationwide. He also sought their expertise in shaping the Uganda Muslims Supreme Council's 10-year strategic plans.
Sheikh Uthman Ngoobi, the proprietor of Albayaan Quran Memorisation Centre, thanked Salam Charity for the support and pledged to collaborate with the charity on education and humanitarian initiatives.
