Arabic students have a reason to smile after the World Islamic Call Society donated 22,000 textbooks to schools.

Country director Sheik Shaban Abduljawad explained: “Many Ugandan graduates have missed well-paying international jobs in Islamic organisations simply because they cannot read or write Arabic. This donation is meant to improve on the language in schools, including non-Muslim schools.”

Abduljawad was on Friday handing over the donation to the chairman of the Uganda Muslim Education Association, Asadu Lutele, in Kibuli, Kampala.

He called for transparency in the distribution of the textbooks.
A total of 80 schools will benefit.
Abduljawad also commended President Yoweri Museveni for initiating poverty alleviation projects and asked Muslims to use them to remain united and fight poverty.
