Bamburi Cement Plc has broadened its annual Ramadhan Food Drive, reaching approximately 4,000 vulnerable families across Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Machakos, and Nairobi counties, benefiting nearly 30,000 people during the holy month.
Now in its second year, the initiative has become a vital lifeline for communities facing food shortages during Ramadhan.
Speaking during the distribution exercise, Tawakal Rajab Sumba, Country Representative of Amsons Group, emphasized the programme’s focus on compassion and inclusion.
“This initiative is built on compassion and inclusion. By reaching 30,000 people and expanding to areas such as Matuga, we are strengthening our partnership with communities and reaffirming our commitment to social impact,” she said.
For Muslim families observing the fast from dawn to sunset, the Iftar meal holds deep spiritual significance. Yet, many low-income households struggle to provide this essential meal. The 2026 programme seeks to ease that burden by ensuring more families can break their fast with dignity.
This year, support has also been extended to Kenya Prisons facilities, orphanages, and children’s homes—institutions where food insecurity often affects the most vulnerable.
The initiative was officially launched at Afra Hall in Mombasa, marking the start of food distribution during the fasting period. Families are receiving essential supplies to sustain them throughout Ramadhan.
Launched in 2025 following Bamburi Cement’s acquisition by Amsons Group, the Ramadhan Food Drive has quickly grown into a flagship corporate social responsibility programme, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to community support.
