NGO feeds 1,100 inmates in Warri

SupportiFly, a non-governmental organisation broke the fast with 1,100 inmates at the Warri Correctional Centre, Warri, Delta State, yesterday.

The initiative was described by the Chairman and Founder of SupportiFly, Kashif Bolarinwa, as an opportunity to remind inmates to get closer to Allah as they fast in the holy month of Ramadan.

He said, “We have to be here with inmates because it is an opportunity for them to know that they are still a part of us regardless of their past. There are many of them who have reflected and want to embrace good life after they are set free. This opportunity with them is for them and others to reflect and get closer to Allah, seek forgiveness for their sins and turn into a new human.”

Kashif noted that the inmates are a crucial component of our community and when they get re-integrated into the society, the number of conscious and food citizens increases which would also serve as remembrance for others to be better.

Recall that the NGO, SupportiFly, pledged it’s commitment to feeding indigents and fasting Muslims throughout the month of Ramadan and Kashif noted that the commitment hasn’t wavered and they have at least fed 300 fasting Muslims daily since fasting started.

He added, “This project as I said is to remind other persons that they are still a part of us and also make sure that fasting Muslims deserves ti eat healthy during Ramadan. We have our programs in Oyo, Delta, Lagos, and some other states and we hope to continue this till the end of Ramadan.”
