The Wunti Al-Khair Foundation, a non-profit organisation, has distributed thousands of new clothes and over 20,000 bags of rice to the less privileged in Bauchi State, ensuring that individuals, especially children, can celebrate Eid al-Kabir with dignity and joy.

Speaking with journalists on Wednesday, Ango Mustapha, the Director of Programs, highlighted the foundation's commitment to impactful interventions. "We have implemented several initiatives aimed at ensuring that the less privileged, fasting Muslims, and the broader Bauchi community experience the blessings of Ramadan with dignity and ease," he stated.

The foundation provided over 3,000 cooked meals daily to fasting Muslims in various communities across Bauchi, offering nourishment to those in need and fostering a spirit of communal support. "In addition to structured distributions, we engaged in spontaneous acts of kindness, ensuring that often-overlooked individuals felt valued and supported," Mustapha added.

The foundation also created a unique opportunity for over 200 children to participate in Quran recitation (Daura) at the Eid ground during Ramadan, encouraging young Muslims to deepen their connection with the Holy Quran.

"Guided by the principles of our chairman and founder, Dr. Bala Wunti—compassion, generosity, and social responsibility—our foundation has, over the years, provided sustainable interventions that improve lives, foster unity, and promote development," Mustapha stated.

To enhance the spiritual experience of Ramadan, the foundation sponsored the broadcast of Quranic Tafsir sessions by esteemed Islamic scholars across major radio and TV stations.

The foundation also trained volunteers in crowd control strategies, traffic management, emergency response preparedness, and the role of volunteerism to maintain order and ensure security during Eid prayers.

"As a token of appreciation, we have extended support to those who dedicate their time and efforts to serving others during Sallah, ensuring they can also observe the celebrations with ease," Mustapha added.

He urged journalists to raise awareness among the public about fraudsters who wrongfully collect money under the guise of facilitating access to the foundation's initiatives.

"As we reflect on this month of mercy, Wunti Al-Khair Foundation remains committed to sustained humanitarian efforts beyond Ramadan. Together, we can build a society where kindness is a daily practice, not just a seasonal gesture," Mustapha concluded.
