In a sweeping show of philanthropy during Eid celebrations, the AA Kaura Foundation has disbursed over ₦35.5 million in humanitarian support across Zamfara State.
The aid package included seventy rams, five cows, and ₦10.3 million in cash support aimed at easing festive burdens for vulnerable groups.
Speaking in Gusau on Thursday, the foundation’s Secretary, Hon. Suleiman Yusuf Usman — popularly known as Sketch — said the initiative is rooted in grassroots empowerment.
“This gesture is part of the foundation’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian outreach,” he told reporters during the distribution ceremony.
Rams were shared among political stakeholders and APC loyalists, while cows were slaughtered and distributed to orphans and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
In addition, cash support was given to women, youth, and local community groups to ensure inclusive participation in the festivities.
“This is not the first time the AA Kaura Foundation has taken such steps,” Hon. Sketch said, citing the foundation’s annual involvement during Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Mawlid.
He attributed the foundation’s vision to its founder, Comrade Anas Abdullahi Anas (AA Kaura), praising his focus on social development and youth empowerment.
Under Kaura’s leadership, the foundation has built Islamic schools and mosques, while also funding scholarships for students across tertiary institutions.
Hon. Sketch also acknowledged the Honourable Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Bello Muhammad Matawalle, for his unwavering support to the foundation’s mission.
He called on public officials to emulate AA Kaura’s model of responsible leadership and people-focused initiatives.
The AA Kaura Foundation reaffirmed its dedication to community upliftment through continued social interventions and empowerment programmes.
