Sino Uganda Mbale Industrial Park has donated various items worth 48,000,000 Ugandan shillings to the Muslim community of Mbale in celebration of Eid al-Fitr.
Before handing over the items to the regional Kadhi and Assistant Mufti in charge of Eastern Uganda, Dr. Ahmed Hamid Wandega, the Mayor of Mbale City, His Worship Casim Namugali, expressed his gratitude to the leadership of Sino Uganda Mbale Industrial Park.
He commended their initiative in supporting the Muslim community during Eid and acknowledged their commitment to the welfare of Mbale residents.
The mayor also appreciated the park's management and top leadership for their continuous support, particularly for their plan to construct a primary school in Kibiniko, Bukasakya Ward. He highlighted that the area has had no primary school since its establishment, forcing children to travel long distances to access education.
This development, he noted, will be a significant relief to the community. He prayed for the Almighty Allah to bless the investors of Sino Uganda Mbale Industrial Park for their generosity.
In her speech, the Resident City Commissioner of Mbale, Asumin Nasike, first commended the Muslim community for fulfilling one of the five pillars of Islam.
She also praised Sino Uganda Mbale Industrial Park for demonstrating social corporate responsibility by giving back to the community, strengthening the bond between the investors and the people of Mbale.

She further acknowledged the positive relationship between the industrial park and the government, emphasizing that Uganda is pleased with the contributions made by Sino Uganda Mbale Industrial Park.
"When we gave you space in Uganda, you, in turn, have supported Ugandans in many ways, which shows that you are good people," she added.
Musa Senyonga, the Chairman of the Eid Organizing Committee, thanked Sino Uganda Mbale Industrial Park for the donations, noting that the Muslim community is very happy with their support. He pledged continued support for the industrial park in all its endeavors.
He also expressed gratitude for the employment opportunities created by the industrial park, which have enabled thousands of people in Mbale City to support their families and improve their livelihoods.
