Covid 19 food donations
The Kisima Foundation donated 940kg of wheat flour to 205 families from Buuri and Mugumone. The families are those who are struggling as a result of a lack of casual jobs in the area. Thank you to Kisima Farm for the donation of the flour and to the Ministry of Interior for overseeing the distribution exercise.
Porridge donations
As the schools have been closed as a result of Covid 19, the Kisima Foundation decided to donate all the porridge stocks from various schools to the vulnerable persons within the surrounding community. The schools were Karimba, Abuja, Ndurumuru, Gundua, Mugumone and Kamiti. The issuing of the porridge was co-ordinated by the local chiefs in the area.
348 people benefitted from the donations.
