The leader of Peace Revival and Reconciliation Foundation of Nigeria Pastor Yohanna Buru has donated food items to women living with HIV/AIDs in the Rigasa area of Kaduna State.
While handing over the foodstuffs on Monday, April 19, Buru said that the move was made to alleviate the women’s plight during the Ramadan fast.
Bags of maize and millets were among the foodstuffs given to them.
According to him, the gesture would also encourage and strengthen them to dedicate more time to prayers for the country’s peace and security.
He used the opportunity to call on Nigerians to work together to address the country’s security issues, while also asking for God’s guidance.
Buru said that, in addition to the increase in food prices, banditry, abduction, cattle rustling, insurgency, the COVID-19 pandemic, and economic recession had caused untold misery for Nigerians.
“This is why we provided grains to these women to alleviate their pain during Ramadan,” he said.

The Christian cleric noted that the Ramadan era should be used to strengthen the country’s relationship between Christians and Muslims.
As a result, he urged wealthier people, corporations, and groups to assist women living with HIV/AIDS, emphasizing that the majority of the women had untreated children.
In response, Hajiya Aisha Usman, the leader of Muslim women living with HIV/AIDS, thanked the foundation for the donation.
She described the Ramadan season as a difficult time for people dealing with the illness, adding that the donation would make their faces brighter.
According to her, the majority of them are widows who have been left to care for their children while staying in rented houses.
She went on to say that because they couldn’t get enough nutrition, most of their children had been malnourished, and they also had to deal with shame.
“We face shame in our everyday lives, amid public awareness,” she added.
Aisha urged Islamic organizations to assist women living with HIV/AIDS to alleviate the pressure on them and their children.
