The Almuhibbah Foundation on Sunday distributed food items and cash support valued at millions of naira to vulnerable residents of Yalwan Duguri community in Alkaleri Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Speaking during the distribution exercise, the founder of the foundation and First Lady of Bauchi State, Dr. Aisha Bala Mohammed, said the initiative was aimed at supporting vulnerable members of society, improving their standard of living and bringing relief to struggling families.
Dr. Aisha stressed the importance of assisting the less privileged and urged beneficiaries to make prudent use of the items in line with Islamic teachings that promote moderation, righteousness and overall wellbeing in this life and the hereafter.
She also advised parents—particularly mothers—to pay close attention to the upbringing of their children by instilling discipline, good morals and leadership values that would shape them into responsible future leaders.
The First Lady further cautioned parents against allowing young girls to engage in street hawking, warning that the practice exposes them to gender-based violence and other risks that threaten their dignity and safety.
Dr. Aisha urged community leaders supervising the distribution to ensure fairness, transparency and accountability so that the support reaches all intended beneficiaries at the grassroots.
In separate remarks, Dr. Mujtapha Abdulkadir Muhammad, Sheikh Sunusi Adam and Imam Mahmood Isa Duguri called on community members to intensify efforts in guiding their children towards becoming responsible citizens.
The religious leaders warned against immoral acts such as adultery and drug abuse, stressing the need for good morals, healthy living and adherence to religious values. They commended the Bauchi State First Lady for her consistent support for vulnerable groups and prayed for Allah’s abundant reward for her kindness.
Earlier, the Coordinator of the Almuhibbah Foundation, Hajiya Zahara’u Y. M. Baba, explained that the foundation is a non-governmental organisation dedicated to assisting vulnerable persons, orphans and people with special needs through proceeds from its business ventures and donations from well-meaning individuals.
She added that the foundation also provides medical assistance aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of beneficiaries and their children, while appealing to the public to support its activities through sadaqah and other charitable contributions.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Hashimu Yakubu Kubala expressed gratitude to the First Lady for the gesture and urged recipients to make judicious use of the items.
Items distributed during the exercise included bags of rice, detergents, wrappers and cash support, among others.
