Sakaja donates over 500 goats to Muslim community for Eid al-Adha celebrations

The goats were distributed to various mosques across the city, where religious leaders will oversee their fair distribution to less privileged members of the community.

“It is a good day, a day of sharing and giving. We are happy to support our Muslim brothers and sisters across the county as they mark this important celebration. Through coordination with mosque leaders, the goats will be fairly distributed. I wish them all Eid Mubarak,”  Sakaja said

The goats were transported in trucks to different mosques by officers from the Sakaja Foundation, under the coordination of Muslim leaders, to ensure they reached the intended recipients.

“This is also an opportunity to bring people together, regardless of background and share what we have. This is the Nairobi we want, and the Kenya we envision: a place where no one is left behind,” the Governor added.

The Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya (CIPK), Nairobi branch, received the donation on behalf of the various mosques.

“We thank the Governor for this generous gift. It means a lot to our community, especially during Eid. We will ensure the goats reach the mosques so people can enjoy this special day,” said Ally, a representative of CIPK.
