Sheikh Waiswa urged individuals and charitable organizations to extend their support by offering essential supplies such as food, clothing, and shelter to the survivors left homeless by the disaster, highlighting the critical need for ongoing assistance.

Eng Musinguzi Badru and Mr. Geoffrey Mugabe, representing key governmental bodies, lauded the Muslim World League’s unwavering commitment to aiding vulnerable populations, underscoring the collaborative efforts aimed at providing relief to those in need.

As part of its ongoing program, the Muslim World League aims to assist over one thousand orphans, illustrating a dedicated and compassionate approach towards alleviating the suffering of the most vulnerable members of society.
