On Independence Day, 9th October 2025, Faras Uganda chose to celebrate freedom through compassion and community service with a heartwarming visit to Sanyu Babies’ Home, one of Uganda’s oldest child orphanages, established in 1929.
In the spirit of unity and giving back, the Faras Uganda team spent the day sharing love, smiles, and hope with the children and caretakers at Sanyu. The visit marked the launch of the company’s month-long “All Lives Matter” campaign, aimed at supporting vulnerable communities across Uganda.
“We have decided to come over here at Sanyu Babies’ Home to recognize the lives that are here,” said Mudhafar Hamad Kasaija, General Manager of Faras Uganda. “This is our way of giving. We are going to be giving back to the community, helping those in need, whether or not they are connected to our business. As long as someone needs help, we are here to lend a hand.”
The Faras Uganda team donated essential supplies, including food items and medicines, responding to the home’s most pressing needs. The contribution comes at a time when Sanyu Babies’ Home continues to face challenges in meeting daily operational costs such as medical care, food, and utilities.
Jessica Namilinde, a social worker at Sanyu Babies’ Home, expressed heartfelt gratitude for the gesture: “We are very happy that people from Faras Uganda decided to come and donate to our children. You have not only stopped at transporting people but also extended kindness to support these little ones. When you give to us, we can continue to serve the children better,” she said.
Namilinde noted that the home struggles to meet medical and nutritional needs for the babies and toddlers under its care. “Even if you cannot visit Sanyu physically, you can still support us from anywhere,” she added, encouraging the public to visit the organization’s website for donation details.
Through this Independence Day initiative, Faras Uganda reaffirmed its commitment to social responsibility, compassion, and national unity — values that reflect the true meaning of freedom: caring for one another and building a brighter future for all Ugandans.
