Nyali parliamentary aspirant Said Abdalla has underscored the critical role of faith-based institutions in fostering peace, strengthening families, and driving community development, calling on leaders to deepen their partnership with religious organizations.
Abdalla made the remarks on Sunday while attending a fundraising event in support of the construction of the Nyali Hills Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Church in Mkomani Ward, where he joined congregants and other well-wishers in raising funds for the church project.
Addressing the congregation, the aspiring legislator praised the spirit of generosity displayed during the fundraiser, saying the event reflected the power of unity in advancing community initiatives.
“I was inspired by the commitment and generosity demonstrated by the congregation and all well-wishers who came together to support this noble cause,” said Abdalla.
He noted that churches remain indispensable partners in promoting moral values, social harmony, and responsible leadership, adding that development goes beyond physical infrastructure to include nurturing strong and cohesive communities.
“As leaders, we must continue partnering with faith-based institutions because they play a vital role in nurturing strong families, promoting peace, and building a compassionate society,” he said.
Abdalla commended the leadership of Nyali Hills SDA Church for spearheading the construction initiative and expressed gratitude for the warm reception accorded to him during the event.
“I sincerely thank the church leadership for the warm reception and congratulate everyone who contributed towards making this fundraising a success,” he said.
He further prayed for God’s blessings upon all those who supported the project and expressed confidence that the church building would be completed successfully.
“May the Almighty God bless your generosity and grant success to the completion of this great project,” Abdalla added.
Calling for continued unity among residents, Abdalla urged the community to embrace collective responsibility in supporting initiatives that uplift society.
“Together, let us continue building not only churches but also stronger, united, and prosperous communities,” he said.
The fundraiser attracted church members, community leaders, residents, and other stakeholders who pledged financial support towards the construction of the new church building, reaffirming their commitment to strengthening places of worship and community service in Nyali.
