Orange Sierra Leone has taken the Jammah Sunakati to the Eastern District of Kenema. The event brought together hundreds of Muslims at one of the iconic mosques in the region, Blama Road Mosque.
This is the third consecutive week that the company has organized Iftar for hundreds of Muslims. The events brought together hundreds of Muslims who prayed and later ate together to end their long day fasting.
Over the last two weeks the Jammah Sunakati was taken to three locations in the country; Dwarzark in the Western Urban Area, Waterloo in the Western Rural Area and Kenema in the Eastern Province, benefiting close to 2,000 Muslims in all these areas combined.
Martha Sumaila, Brand Manager at Orange Sierra Leone, who herself was among the women that cooked for the Jammah in Kenema, said Orange Sierra Leone is offering such gestures simply because it is the month of giving.
“We are doing this because we know Ramadan is a time to share and we are sharing food with Muslims across the country. We are cooking together with residents in communities and eating together with them because we believe that the spirit of unity is a good thing during this period,” Martha stated.
Hundreds of Muslim worshippers sit side by side happily sharing food and communing with each other. Jammah Sunakati has sought to promote the spirit of unity and a sense of community bond everywhere it has been taken.
“I am happy that they have re-energized our community. We are grateful for the support that they have given us. They made their way from the capital up to here to share Sunakati with us. This is a great gesture. We pray for Allah’s guidance and blessings for them,” a Sheikh commended the move made by the company.
Jamma Sunakati is not the only initiative rolled out by Orange during this Ramadan, the company has set aside Le510 million to be given away in food items with ten random customers winning Le750, 000 every day.
Weekly draws on Saturday have also seen customers win Le50 million in the form of food provisions.
