His tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of his constituents have truly set him apart as a shining example of selfless public service.
One of the most impactful initiatives spearheaded by Hon. Abdisirat is the sponsorship of free Madrasa education in numerous parts of Mandera County.
Recognizing the transformative power of education, he has made it possible for countless children to receive quality religious instruction without the burden of financial constraints.
His dedication was further highlighted as he graced the 18th graduation ceremony of 26 Madarasas under the HUMANITY GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCY (HGDA), where he celebrated the achievements of the young graduates and emphasized the significance of knowledge in our community.
But Hon. Abdisirat’s efforts extend far beyond the realm of education.
In Alungu Ward, he has demonstrated his deep compassion for the needy by building houses for 30 underprivileged families.
This remarkable act of kindness has not only provided these families with shelter, but has also restored their dignity and given them hope for a brighter future.
His selfless contributions have brought smiles to many faces and have strengthened the bond of unity and care within our community.
Furthermore, Hon. Abdisirat has played a pivotal role in the opening of Masjid Yussuf at Mandera Prison.
This beautiful mosque, a beacon of faith and spirituality, was built through the tireless efforts of Al Hajji Sultan Mohamud Khalif Ali and Hajji Hussein Fanay.
The opening ceremony, graced by Hon. Abdisirat and other dignitaries, was a momentous occasion that symbolized the power of collaboration and the importance of providing spiritual guidance to all members of our society, including those in the correctional system.
Hon. Abdisirat Khalif Ali’s actions over the past few days have had a profound impact on our community.
