NRM Chairman Hajji Abdallah Difee Delivers Hope: Maize Flour Donated to Widows, Elderly, PWDs and Needy in Sironko Town Council

SIRONKO, Uganda — In a gesture of solidarity that brought relief to vulnerable households, Hajji Abdallah Difee, the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Chairman for Sironko Town Council, on Thursday distributed maize flour to families of widows, elderly persons, persons with disabilities (PWDs) and other needy residents across the town council.

The donation, sourced through successful lobbying with the international charity organisation Convoy of Hope, reached dozens of households on October 29, 2026. Residents expressed deep gratitude, describing the support as timely amid rising living costs and food insecurity challenges facing many families in the area.

Difee personally oversaw the distribution, ensuring the maize flour reached intended beneficiaries in various cells and wards of Sironko Town Council. Local leaders and community members noted that the initiative specifically prioritised the most vulnerable, including widows struggling to provide for their children, elderly residents without steady income, and persons with disabilities who often face additional barriers to livelihood.

“We are very thankful to Hajji Abdallah Difee for thinking about us,” said one resident who received the flour. “Many of us have been finding it hard to put food on the table. This maize flour will help our families for some time. We also appreciate Convoy of Hope for responding to his request.”

Community members highlighted Difee’s role in actively engaging the charity foundation to secure the consignment for Sironko Town Council. Several speakers at the distribution points praised the NRM chairman for consistently advocating for the welfare of ordinary residents and for bridging the gap between local needs and external support.

The intervention comes as many households in the region continue to grapple with the lingering effects of economic pressures and seasonal challenges that affect food availability. By focusing on widows, the elderly, PWDs and the poorest families, the donation was widely seen as a targeted and compassionate response.

Convoy of Hope, known for its work supporting communities through food aid and development programmes in various countries, provided the maize flour following Difee’s engagement. Residents said the transparent manner in which the items were handed over helped build further trust in local leadership.

As beneficiaries carried home their allocations, many expressed hope that such partnerships between local leaders and charitable organisations would continue. “This is the kind of leadership we need — one that looks for solutions and brings help closer to the people,” another resident remarked.

The distribution marks one of the recent community-focused efforts by the Sironko Town Council NRM chairman, reinforcing his visibility as a leader attentive to the day-to-day struggles of constituents. For many families in the town council, Thursday’s donation provided not only bags of maize flour but also a tangible sense of being remembered and supported.
