Premier Bank Kenya has signed a deal with Zakat Kenya to support 5,000 Muslim families. The annual ‘We Are One—Iftar Walk’, has been in existence since 2017 and has so far supported 20,000 households.
The initiative aligns with Premier Bank Kenya’s mission to provide progressive, ethical banking solutions, prioritizing its customers while making sustainable economic contributions in communities across Africa.
“This partnership represents a step forward in our ongoing efforts to give back to the communities that Premier Bank serves through providing Muslim families in Nairobi with food packages during the Holy month of Ramadan,” Premier Bank Kenya CEO Osman Dualle said.
“We aim to feed 5,000 families, institutions, schools and the entire Islamic fraternity through this joint partnership. The Premier Bank Kenya team will also be participating in the walk to encourage physical fitness and ensure wellness is incorporated into our lifestyles.”
The partnership will feature two major events, such as an Iftar fun walk to fundraise for the 2024 Iftar program as well as the distribution of Iftar food packs to low-income households before or on the first day of Ramadan.
“This initiative has been in existence for the past seven years and our main mandate is giving back to the Muslim community in Kenya. We thank Premier Bank Kenya for taking the initiative to join the cause and uplift the Muslim community,” Zakat Kenya’s Vice Chairman, Abdi Shakur Mohammed.
“Zakat Kenya believes that this partnership will help alleviate the Muslim community in light of the current tough economic times by providing food packages for families to enjoy during the holy month of Ramadan.”
