Bamburi Cement Plc has expanded its annual Ramadhan Food Drive, reaching about 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 an important support programme for communities facing food shortages during Ramadhan.
Speaking during the distribution exercise, Tawakal Rajab Sumba, Country Representative of Amsons Group, said the programme reflects the company’s commitment to compassion and community support.
“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 faithful observing the fast from dawn to sunset, the Iftar meal holds deep spiritual meaning. However, for many low-income families, providing that meal can be difficult. The 2026 programme aims to ease that burden by ensuring more families can break their fast with dignity.
This year, the initiative has also extended support to Kenya Prisons facilities, orphanages and children’s homes, institutions where food insecurity often affects vulnerable groups.
The programme was officially launched at Afra Hall in Mombasa, marking the start of food distribution during the fasting period. Families are receiving essential food supplies to help sustain them throughout Ramadhan.
Launched in 2025 following Bamburi Cement’s acquisition by Amsons Group, the Ramadhan Food Drive has grown into a key corporate social responsibility initiative, reflecting the company’s commitment to supporting communities where it operates.
