SSEMCO’s Generosity Expands to Kasambya: A Testament to Brotherhood and Unity. In another remarkable act of generosity, SSEMCO, a leading rice and maize flour supplier in Mubende, has again extended its support to the Muslim community.
Following its initial iftar donation in Mubende Town, the company reached out to the Muslim community of Kasambya County this Friday, reinforcing its dedication to uplifting those observing the holy month of Ramadan.
At a special handover ceremony held at the SSEMCO factory in Kasambya Town, Sheikh Muhammad, the coordinator of this iftar donation, represented Mr. Moses Serugga, the company’s founder, in delivering 44 bags of rice (each weighing 25kg) to Imams from various mosques across Kasambya.
Speaking on the phone, Mr. Serugga, who was unable to attend due to other commitments, extended his apologies to the Imams and reaffirmed his unwavering support for the Muslim community: “I truly wanted to be there in person, but I was caught up with other pressing matters. However, please accept my representative as a reflection of my presence, knowing that my heart and spirit are with you. Your community holds a special place in my journey, and I remain committed to standing with you in meaningful ways.”
His words were met with deep appreciation from the Imams, who recognized his continued commitment to the well-being of the fasting community. Wabusimba Amiri UMMB communication specialist acknowledged SSEMCO’s growing generosity and remarked:
“When the first distribution was made, I thought that was the end. But seeing this generosity extend to Kasambya, it is clear that your love for the Muslim community is not just an act of kindness—it is a reflection of true brotherhood. I call upon all the people of Mubende to support your business because a friend in need is a friend indeed. And you are not just a friend; you are a true embodiment of the values we hold dear in Islam.”
The Imams, deeply moved by this act, reminded the congregation of the blessings attached to feeding those who fast: “Whoever provides food for a fasting person to break his fast will earn the same reward as him, without anything being lessened from the reward of the fasting person.” (Hadith – Tirmidhi).
They further encouraged all well-wishers to use this sacred time to support those in need, emphasizing that even the smallest act of kindness holds immense reward.
What makes this even more profound is that Mr. Serugga himself is not a Muslim. Yet, his actions speak volumes about the generosity and unity that should exist among all people. The Imams, recognizing the sincerity of his giving heart, offered a special prayer:
“Though you have given to us, you will not receive the rewards of fasting. But we pray that Allah, in His infinite mercy, opens your heart to see His calling. May He bless your business, protect your family, and grant you even greater success.”
This powerful demonstration of selflessness is a call to action for all—Muslims and non-Muslims alike. If those outside the faith can embody such generosity, how much more should those within? As Ramadan continues, let this be a reminder that giving is not just an obligation; it is a path to blessings beyond measure.
May this spirit of kindness inspire many more to give, uplift, and foster unity that lasts far beyond Ramadan. Ramadan Mubarak!
