Dubai Charity Association (DCA), an NGO based in the United Arab Emirates has given out 250 slaughtered lambs to thousand households within the Ejisu Municipality.
The distribution was done on Wednesday 28th June 2023 at Achiase- Amuam of the Ejisu Municipality by executives of Ansar Al-Khairiya Organisation; a Ghana-based agency.
The move commemorated the celebration of this year’s Eid al-Ahdha and also aimed at giving to poor and needy within the Municipality.
Beneficiaries constituted Muslims, Christians and people of other religious Faith.
Public Relations Officer for Ansar Al-Khairiya Mohammed Bun Bida said on the sidelines of the distribution that the gesture demonstrates how the organization and for that matter Islam honours the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God’s command.
“It also shows our zeal towards giving to the needy in society.
It’s a clear show to the world that Islam means peace and one of the ways of sustaining peace is through giving.”
Some of the beneficiaries thanked officials of Dubai Charity Association for remembering and supporting them during the occasion.
