An iftar program organized by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) and the Aziz Mahmud Hudayi Foundation brought community members together at the Ghana National Mosque and Complex in Accra on March 8, 2026. The gathering, held in the mosque courtyard, provided an opportunity for attendees to break their fast collectively during the holy month of Ramadan. Humanitarian outreach The initiative reflects Türkiye's ongoing humanitarian engagement across the African continent through TIKA's development and aid programs. By organizing communal iftars during Ramadan, Turkish institutions seek to strengthen cultural and religious ties with Muslim communities abroad while providing practical support for those observing the fasting month. Ghana National Mosque setting The Ghana National Mosque and Complex, one of West Africa's largest mosques, served as an appropriate venue for the gathering, accommodating hundreds of attendees who came together for the sunset meal. The mosque, a landmark in Accra, regularly hosts community events during Ramadan, with Turkish organizations contributing to these activities through partnerships with local institutions. Continuing tradition The iftar program represents a continuation of TIKA's Ramadan activities across multiple countries, part of broader Turkish efforts to maintain cultural and humanitarian connections with Muslim communities worldwide. Such gatherings foster solidarity and shared experience during the holy month, reinforcing bonds between Türkiye and the countries where Turkish aid organizations operate.
