THIRTY-SIX families in need, residing around Lumut areas, received donations from the Takmir committee members of Zainab Mosque on May 3 at Zainab Mosque, Lumut.
Started in March, the donation programme aimed at encouraging people to contribute to the cause by donating various items, such as food and necessities to the families in need.
Present to deliver the donations as the special guest of the event was Haji Haslan bin Haji Shahbudin, the Village Head of Kampong Lumut I and II, who was welcomed by Haji Aminorddin bin Haji Md Yussof, the Head Imam of Zainab Mosque and the chairperson for the event.
The Head Imam of Zainab Mosque, in his speech, hoped that the donations would help the families in need and that the programme will continue in the near future.
