The Sirajo Yakubu Foundation for Development (SYFD) has officially launched its Ramadan Feeding Initiative, beginning with the distribution of rice to vulnerable families in Batagarawa Local Government Area, Katsina State.
The program, held during the holy month of Ramadan, reflects SYFD’s commitment to fighting hunger, supporting vulnerable households, and strengthening community resilience. Food insecurity remains one of the root causes of poverty and insecurity, and this initiative seeks to bridge the gap by ensuring that no one is left behind.
Speaking at the distribution, the President & Founder, Dr. Sirajo Yakubu, Esq, noted that feeding goes beyond providing meals, it is also a tool for peace and empowerment.
“Hunger weakens bodies, fuels insecurity, and creates despair. By feeding our people, we are giving hope, restoring dignity, and laying the foundation for safer and stronger communities. Inspired by the compassionate leadership of His Excellency, Governor Dr. Dikko Umaru Radda, PhD, CON, this is only the beginning of many more interventions to come,” he said.
The Ramadan Feeding Initiative falls under SYFD’s Healthcare & Humanitarian Programs, which focus on improving welfare, reducing vulnerability, and complementing government policies on social support. The Foundation also recognizes the direct link between hunger and insecurity, and therefore views food distribution as part of its wider strategy to empower communities and promote peace.
This launch in Batagarawa is the first of several planned interventions across Katsina State and beyond. As the Foundation expands its reach, it remains committed to its vision of creating a society where compassion, integrity, and innovation drive positive change.
At SYFD, we believe that to feed one person is to empower a generation.
Together, we can feed hope, fight hunger, and build a more secure tomorrow.
