As the year’s month of fasting and prayer for the Muslim community comes to an end, dfcu Bank joined its Muslim customers in an Iftar dinner (breaking of the fast) hosted by the Bank at the Kampala Serena Hotel as the bank gears to celebrate 60 years of excellent service.

“This year, dfcu will be celebrating 60 years of existence and as a fully Ugandan institution, we take great pride in our Ugandan heritage. Our understanding of legacy and heritage helps us to recognize the significance of the holy month of Ramadan for our customers and the wider Islamic community,” Mudiwa said.
Mudiwa added that, in addition to fostering connections with the Bank’s customers and staff, Ramadan provides muslims with the opportunity to reflect, give thanks for shared blessings and come together for the overall good.
Mudiwa acknowledged the contribution of the Muslim community to the success of the Bank over the years, saying, “Your continued support and trust in dfcu is the reason we continue to grow. Tonight, we echo our commitment to serving you and supporting the Transformation of your Lives and Businesses through our more than 50 locations across the country.”
Delivering the message for the day, the Director of Communication, Research, and International Relations in the Office of the Supreme Mufti, Dr. Muhammad Musoke Kiggundu appealed to the guests to embrace generosity during Ramadan.
He stated that Ramadan is a time for people to build bridges between themselves and humanity. He hailed dfcu for practicing the culture of sharing by giving back to its clients during Ramadan.
