The spirit of giving and gratitude marked the end of Royco’s month-long ”Share Goodness” Ramadan campaign, which concluded on Saturday with a vibrant, food-filled celebration at the Gaddafi Mosque in Old Kampala.
The grand finale brought together hundreds of Muslims as they prepared to usher in Eid al-Fitr, confirmed to begin on Sunday, March 30, following the official moon sighting in Saudi Arabia that signalled the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
Organised by Unilever Uganda under its flagship food seasoning brand Royco, the campaign finale was not just about meals—it was about community. Attendees were treated to a generous iftar feast, gift baskets, and festive goodies, creating an atmosphere of unity, gratitude, and joy.
“We officially close our campaign today, but the spirit of sharing continues,” said Grace Nandawula, Head of Customer and Strategy Planning at Unilever Uganda. “We thank the Muslim community for allowing us to walk with them during this sacred month. Through food donations and kindness, we’ve shared goodness across Uganda.”
Throughout the campaign, Royco worked with mosques, markets, and communities across the country, collecting and distributing food to vulnerable households. The initiative aimed to not only celebrate Ramadan but also amplify the message of generosity and caring for others.
The Uganda Muslim Supreme Council and the Directorate of Halal also participated in the event. Abdul Karim Abdallah Katamba, Assistant to the Mufti and Halal Director, emphasised the importance of verifying Halal-certified products, especially in an age of heavily processed foods.
“Halal is more than a label—it’s about ensuring safety, purity, and wholesomeness. We thank Royco and Unilever for respecting and following Halal standards,” he said.
Eid prayers will be held today at various mosques across the country, with the main prayer at Old Kampala Mosque, where Sheikh Shaban Mubaje will lead worship for an expected 1,500 congregants.
With colourful decorations, cultural performances, and an abundance of food, Royco’s campaign finale left many smiling—a fitting end to a holy month dedicated to reflection, compassion, and community.
