As a Foundation that primarily focuses on providing aid to the poor, needy and the less privileged, the DAQVAH Charity Foundation has on Friday 18th of March 2022 responded to the needs of the vulnerable by providing packs of food, drinks and water in the form of breakfast along Kissy Road and PZ Roundabout. This exercise benefited 300 needy persons including Persons With Disabilities (PWDs), women and children.
Yussouf Abass Jalloh , the Project Manager , said the Feed the Needy (FTN) Project is implemented quarterly and that the donation marked the sixteenth distribution since the establishment of the foundation in July 2015. He added that the FTN is also implemented to compliment the government’s efforts in combating hunger. “Today, we decided to be at the street and provide quality food, water and drinks not just to beggars but to people who are really in need of breakfast.” “We continue to call on other people or donors to support us to reach out to more beneficiaries,” he ended.
“I was thinking of how I am going to eat this morning and I saw people distributing food and drinks, so I had to go there and fortunately I received mine. I feel so good upon receiving this package and as they have remembered us, may God bless them and be with them always,” Fatu Sankoh a beneficiary at Kissy Road said.
Another beneciary at PZ said, “I am so happy for receiving the food and this distribution is really timely. May Allah reward you all.”
Mohamed Bah, a member and also a staff of the foundation who lives in France, said that he feels privileged to be a part of the distribution as it is something he has been longing for whenever the foundation is implementing an activity. “It is a big day for me and I am happy. If you have been dragging your feet, start running with us and if you are not part of DAQVAH try to be part because the feeling you get when you see the smile on someone’s face is unexplainable. No amount is small to help the Needy so join DAQVAH,” he concluded.
The distribution successfully ended with lots of prayers from the beneficiaries in all the two locations.
