Case Study 1
Iftar Sponsorship, Kampala, Uganda
March 2026
The Situation
A connection made by chance in Malaysia became a bridge across borders. Dr. Adam Musa, a PhD graduate of IIUM-ISTAC, was someone the team had gotten to know during his time as a student — long before either side knew it would lead to a project together. Through that relationship, a need emerged: a mosque congregation in Kampala, Uganda, needed support to sustain iftar (the breaking of fast) during Ramadan.
The Approach
Funds were raised in Malaysia and channeled to Kampala to cover 8 consecutive days of iftar sponsorship — covering the raw ingredients needed to cook for the congregation each evening: fuel, meat, tomatoes, onions, rice, cooking oil, milk, spices, dates, and bananas.
What Was Delivered
- RM5,949 raised in Malaysia
- 8 consecutive days of iftar sponsorship funded
- 150 people attending each day — 1,200 villagers reached across the full sponsorship period
The Outcome
This is the conduit model working exactly as intended — not a generic donation to an unfamiliar cause overseas, but a real connection, made in Malaysia, that turned into a fully tracked, ingredient-by-ingredient sponsorship reaching a specific congregation thousands of kilometres away. Proof that being "the conduit" isn't limited by geography — it's limited only by whether the connection exists.
