Additionally, she said clean energy cooking also reduces indoor air pollution, improving the health and well-being of individuals and families. She urged Muslims to use the month of Ramadan for reflection, compassion, and meaningful action.

“Ramadan is a special period for Muslims, where fasting, prayer and acts of compassion bring us closer together. Let us seize this opportunity to reaffirm our continued commitment to the progress and prosperity of our communities in the country and our entire nation,” she said.
