WhIPSO, a charitable Foundation has donated more than 2500 of 10kg rice packages to the community of Sotokoto, Tipper Garage, Serekunda as part of their ‘Zakatul Fitr’ charity to needy families.
The WHIPSO Foundation that was founded in Germany in 2018 aims to benefit everyone, and reach everywhere regardless of ethnicity, gender, political beliefs, or religion. To achieve this goal, the Foundation offers help to the suffering and needy all over the world.
In their quest to support vulnerable families within the country and beyond, Mr. Muhammed Nyan, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of WHIPSO Gambia told this medium that during the distribution of the noble gesture, underprivileged families and disabled persons also benefited from the humanitarian gesture. He added that the beneficiaries were highly grateful and offered prayers to the entire WHIPSO team while pledging such a gesture to continue.
“The routine of such humanitarian gestures continued to the vicinities of Westfield and Pipeline Central Mosque respectively. In these jurisdictions, a large crowd benefited. We were not able to complete the humanitarian gesture in a day due to the huge number of people that were found on the ground. Therefore, the hospitable and kindly exercise continued for the second and third rounds.”
Mr. Nyan reiterated that the Foundation is also committed to distributing another 625 rice packages of 10kg to families that deserve the support.
He continued that through their developmental projects, they want to offer long-term prospects to people with the creation of alternative sources of income and qualification measures, by opening vocational schools, promoting economic independence, and enabling them to help themselves.
Fatou Jawara, a beneficiary of the humanitarian gesture thanked WHIPSO for their timely intervention while urging them to continue the support. She benefited from the rice distribution and wholeheartedly prayed that the Foundation grow bigger and better.
Amongst WHIPSO’s projects are capacity building training, investment in agriculture, environmental protection, and medical and water supply
