Community Leadership and Involvement

This marks the sixth consecutive year of the Property Developers Welfare Society’s Ramadan food distribution program, which has become a beacon of hope for vulnerable households in the area. Kamukunji Member of Parliament Yusuf Hassan attended the event as the chief guest, praising the unwavering commitment of the Society and encouraging other leaders and businesses to follow suit.

“We hope others will also learn from this and extend a helping hand to those in need. In Islam, those who are blessed with wealth have a duty to support their less fortunate brothers and sisters,” MP Hassan stated.

The Role of the Property Developers Welfare Society

Chairman Abdirahman Shibli expressed his gratitude to the Society’s members for their generous financial contributions, which made the distribution possible. He cited a well-known saying of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to emphasize the spiritual value of charity:

“Charity does not diminish wealth; rather, it increases it.”

He also described the rigorous process of identifying beneficiaries, which involves collaboration with local government officials, including Chiefs, the Assistant County Commissioner, Members of County Assembly (MCAs), and the MP’s office, ensuring transparency and fairness.

Beyond Charity: Infrastructure Development in Kamukunji

In addition to its humanitarian efforts, the Property Developers Welfare Society plays a vital role in supporting local development. California MCA Hashim Kamau highlighted how the Society stepped in to complete crucial road projects on Timboroa and Waudo Streets after official contractors failed to finish the work to standard.
