The Muhammad Ali-Wudil Foundation has distributed clothing materials to 1,100 orphans in Wudil and Garko Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Kano State for Sallah festival.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the organisation was founded by Mohammad Ali-Wudil, a member representing Wudil/Garko Federal constituency.
The clothes were presented to the beneficiaries yesterday in Wudil by the Director of the foundation, Alhaji Baffa Alhaji.
Alhaji said the gesture was to make the orphans feel loved like other children.
According to him, the foundation has been supporting orphans in the area in the 10 last years.
He said: “These children have lost their parents, therefore, we find it necessary to assist them so that they can also feel happy like other children. Other wealthy individuals and politicians should also assist the less privileged ones and those that lost their parents. It will put smiles on their faces, and almighty God will reward those who assisted.
“Clothing is one of the basic human needs, hence, giving it out to the orphans is important, we want them to look good during the festive.”
According to him, the foundation has also distributed clothing materials to 300 mothers, 52 Imams and over 1,000 youths, among others in the constituency.
He added that some other beneficiaries were provided financial assistance and food staff since the beginning of Ramadan.
Alhaji said no fewer than 40 orphans are also being sponsored by the foundation to study in primary and secondary schools across the two councils.
Alhaji Yusuf Lajawa, who represented the founder, advised the beneficiaries to make proper use of the materials and pray for peace and unity in the country.
