Bamburi Cement Plc has significantly expanded its annual Ramadhan Food Drive, reaching around 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 a critical support programme for communities struggling with food insecurity during Ramadhan.
Speaking during the distribution exercise, Tawakal Rajab Sumba, Country Representative of Amsons Group, highlighted the programme’s focus on compassion and inclusion.
“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 families observing the fast from dawn to sunset, the Iftar meal holds deep spiritual meaning. However, many low-income households face challenges providing this essential meal. The 2026 programme aims to ease this burden by ensuring more families can break their fast with dignity.
This year, the initiative has extended its support to Kenya Prisons facilities, orphanages, and children’s homes, reaching institutions where food insecurity often affects the most vulnerable.
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 sustain them throughout Ramadhan.
Launched in 2025 after Bamburi Cement’s acquisition by Amsons Group, the Ramadhan Food Drive has quickly grown into a flagship corporate social responsibility initiative, reflecting the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting communities where it operates.
