Kampala – Unilever Uganda, through its iconic seasoning brand Royco, has successfully concluded its ‘Share Goodness’ campaign, a month-long initiative that provided nutritious Iftar meals to over 5,000 Muslims in 25 mosques across the country. To mark the end of Ramadan, Royco made a significant donation to the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council, reinforcing its commitment to community welfare and the spirit of giving.

As part of the donation, essential food items—including sugar, rice, cooking oil, beans, salt, and Royco seasoning—were distributed to support families as they prepared to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. The event, held at the Uganda Muslim Supreme Council headquarters, was attended by religious leaders, community representatives, and Unilever Uganda officials.
Royco’s commitment to sharing and community support
Speaking at the event, Grace Nandawula, Head of Customer and Strategy Planning at Unilever Uganda, emphasized the significance of the campaign and Royco’s dedication to enriching lives through flavor and nutrition.
"Ramadan is a time of devotion, reflection, and sharing. At Royco, our customers are at the heart of everything we do, and this period resonates deeply with our brand values. The ‘Share Goodness’ campaign has been our way of contributing to meaningful moments for families across Uganda. By providing meals and essential food items, we hope to spread joy, promote togetherness, and celebrate the generosity that defines this sacred month," Nandawula said.

Throughout Ramadan, the ‘Share Goodness’ campaign extended beyond providing Iftar meals, actively engaging communities through donation drives in 30 supermarkets. Shoppers were encouraged to contribute to food collection bins and make mobile money donations via QR codes, with all proceeds directed toward supporting vulnerable households. Additionally, mosque-based Iftar experiences featured meals prepared with Royco’s signature seasoning, enhancing the dining experience for thousands.
