MOGADISHU —<\/strong> In a gesture reflecting the deepest meanings of social solidarity and noble human values, charitable initiatives in Somalia continue to build bridges of support for the most vulnerable groups, marking the arrival of the Holy Month of Ramadan with a spirit of security and comprehensive community unity.<\/p>\n

\u200bShabelle Media Network reported that the Hormuud Salaam Foundation (HSF) has launched a large-scale food distribution campaign targeting underprivileged families, mental health patients, and people with disabilities as part of its integrated annual program to enhance food security during the Holy Month.<\/p>\n

The network noted that the aid included essential food supplies for 60 low-income families supported by the SOHEEDA Association, within a strategic partnership spanning over a decade focused on child empowerment and care.<\/p>\n

Abdirahman Ibrahim Elmi, Deputy Director of Hormuud Salaam Foundation, emphasized that standing by vulnerable community members represents a fundamental pillar of the foundation’s social and humanitarian duty, noting that the initiative seeks to alleviate the living burdens on families amidst current challenges.<\/p>\n

In a related context, the same source quoted HSF Chairman Abdullahi Nur Osman stating that the campaign extended to the Foorlanini Mental Health Hospital, providing comprehensive food parcels to assist the hospital management in securing meals for patients.<\/p>\n

During an inspection tour of the hospital wards, Osman explained that these patients require exceptional solidarity combining healthcare and nutritional support, affirming the foundation\u2019s steadfast commitment to ensuring the dignity of individuals facing harsh health and social conditions.<\/p>\n

The initiative also included, according to the network’s report, the distribution of specialized aid to the disability community, where field coordinators praised the foundation\u2019s pioneering role in improving the quality of life for marginalized groups and consolidating principles of social justice.<\/p>\n

This move comes as part of the “Ramadan Iftar and Support Project,” which the foundation has implemented for the 14th consecutive year, aiming to reach more than 67,000 beneficiaries, including patients, displaced persons, prisoners, and those with special needs across the country.<\/p>\n

The foundation concludes its efforts by affirming that this support is not merely a seasonal response, but part of a long-term vision aimed at enhancing community resilience and establishing the values of giving that represent the essence of the Somali national identity.<\/p>\n
