Umma Foundation comes to the rescue of Mama Amina
By Mohamed Kahiye
A needy Kibera family has reason to smile after Marhaba-The New Dawn entertainment magazine highlighted her plight in the last issue (Aug 15-30) particularly how her family breaks the fast.
Ummah Foundation of Nairobi acted swiftly and came into the rescue of Mama Amina Ibrahim 35, a mother of five who resides in Kibera slums.
Speaking after presenting foodstuffs to Mama Amina at her Kibera home, Ummah Foundation Executive Officer Musa Wekesa thanked The New Dawn team and commended them for their noble work.
“We really appreciate your noble role of highlighting the plight of Muslims especially during the holy month of Ramadhan. This is very important in creating awareness among prospective well wishers,” said Wekesa.
Besides foodstuffs, the organization also promised to sponsor three of Mama Amina’s children who are now in secondary school until they complete their education.

Assalamu Alleikum! Excellent! May Allah (SW) reward this effort! However, it's really concerning why our community have come to this stage!....We have the LOCAL KNOWLEDGE we know who is needy among us and who is not. We used to take care of the needy among us....At least I personally remember sinia of food used to criss-cross neighbours if not streets! What happened to those days?
