Eid al-Adha is an occasion to reflect on the kindness and compassion of the Prophets and the event is at the heart of the Abrahamic tradition. It also highlights on our common humanity and a common ethical heritage, which is shared among Muslims, Christians and Jews alike.

Sheikh Sulaiman Kiberu, the executive director of KOFS appreciated the Ismaili community’s repeated acts of good will and contributions and said that they survive on such donations. He also commented that the Ismaili community’s generosity of spirit has motivated others in society to give to the Orphanage. 

The President of the National Council for Uganda, Mr. Minaz Jamal said that, “service to society is an important part of our Ismaili Muslim tradition and such occasions present opportunities for giving resources and time, and for significantly improving the communities within which we live. The synergies between the three portfolios of the National Council (Outreach, Youth and Communications) are opportunities to inculcate within our young volunteers the importance of upholding the Ismaili Muslim tradition of volunteerism."

One of the volunteers commented that “We are delighted to help on Eid, which is an occasion for offering service and a time of inclusion, sharing and giving."
