SALAAM BANK DISTRIBUTES IFTAR TO TRAVELLERS AT KAMPALA CLOCK TOWER
KAMPALA – 13th March 2026 (23rd Ramadan 1447AH)
In a heartwarming act of community support during the holy month of Ramadan, Salaam Bank Uganda yesterday distributed Iftar meals to Muslim travellers caught in the heavy evening traffic around Clock Tower Kampala in the heart of Kampala City.
The initiative took place along Queen's Way, a busy junction where many commuters often find themselves stuck in traffic at sunset, making it difficult to reach their homes or nearby mosques in time to break their fast.
Representatives from Salaam Bank handed out Iftar packs to motorists, passengers, boda boda riders, and pedestrians who were still on the road at Maghrib time.
“This initiative is part of the spirit of compassion and service that Salaam Bank holds for the Muslim community and all Ugandans. We want to ensure that those caught in traffic are still able to break their fast with dignity,” she said.
She also highlighted that Salaam Bank offers a wide range of Muslim-tailored banking services, designed to align with Islamic financial principles.
Meanwhile, Arafat Mpagi noted that the bank’s Ramadan outreach programs will continue throughout the month.
“These community give-back initiatives will continue during Ramadan. Even those who have not yet benefited from this Iftar distribution still have an opportunity,” he explained.
Mr. Mpagi added that members of the public can open an account with Salaam Bank through Quick Teller Agents, giving them a chance to benefit from future Ramadan initiatives and promotions.
The activity attracted appreciation from commuters who expressed gratitude for the timely gesture, describing it as a meaningful example of corporate responsibility and community solidarity during Ramadan.
As Kampala’s evening traffic came to a brief pause for Maghrib, the distribution of Iftar served as a powerful reminder of the values of charity, compassion, and unity that define the holy month of Ramadan.
