Walking for Mercy: Isiolo Comes Together for the IMANET Iftar Walk 2
On 14th February 2026, the town of Isiolo witnessed a powerful show of unity, compassion, and community spirit as the Isiolo Muslim Aid Network (IMANET) organized the Isiolo Iftar Walk 2026 to raise funds for vulnerable families during the Ramadan period.
The event brought together people from all walks of life — youth, children, community members, volunteers, and supporters — who turned up in large numbers to walk for a shared cause: ensuring that vulnerable families in Isiolo can access food during Ramadan.
More than just a fundraising activity, the walk was a meaningful expression of solidarity and mercy. It reflected the values at the heart of Ramadan: caring for others, sharing what we have, and standing with those in need.
The walk was graced by Tecla Lorupe, a respected peace ambassador and a strong champion for the rights of women in Kenya. Her presence added inspiration and significance to the event, reinforcing the message of peace, dignity, and collective responsibility.
As participants moved through Isiolo with banners and messages of support, the community sent a clear message: no family should be left behind during Ramadan. Every step taken symbolized hope. Every contribution made helped bring IMANET closer to reaching families in need with food support.
Through initiatives like the Iftar Walk, IMANET continues to demonstrate the strength of community-driven action — mobilizing local support, inspiring generosity, and building a culture of compassion in Isiolo.
We sincerely thank all participants, partners, volunteers, and donors who made this event a success. Your support is helping provide not only food, but also dignity and hope to families during a sacred season.
Together, we walked. Together, we gave. Together, we made a difference.
