The Light Foundation has embarked on its yearly ramadan food support to Muslims in deprived communities in the Northern Region.
The outreach took place in Balshie and Nakplisi communities in the Nantong District where residents of the two communities were given food packages such as rice, sugar, oil, spaghetti, tin tomatoes, tea and milk to support them during the Ramadan fast.
The Foundation also distributed nose masks and hand sanitizers to the residents of the two communities as part of efforts to help prevent the spread of the deadly pandemic which has killed thousands of people across the globe.
The C.E.O of The Light Foundation, Sheikh Ali Abubakar Napari led the staff of the foundation to donate the food items to residents in the area.
The residents lauded the efforts of The Light Foundation and thanked them for continuously supporting them especially during the annual Islamic festivities such as the Eid ul-Fitr.
The light Foundation, an Islamic Non-Governmental Organisation aimed at supporting the vulnerable and needy in society earlier this month embarked on similar exercise in some Muslim communities in Accra.
For the past decade, the organisation has lightened the heart of many vulnerable people and deprived communities in various parts of the country not only by helping meet their physical needs but improving their spiritual wholeness as well.
