Miriam Odemba spreads Ramadan joy with charitable Iftar in Mbagala Mbande

Internationally acclaimed model Miriam Odemba has extended her generosity this Ramadan by providing iftar for hundreds of residents in Mbagala Mbande, offering a heartfelt gesture of support to the less fortunate.

The event, organized by her longtime friend, Aunt Zai Shanga from Bagamoyo, saw residents come together in a spirit of unity and gratitude.

Odemba, currently residing in France, connected with attendees through a WhatsApp video call, personally addressing them and sharing in the moment of breaking fast.

Her warm and humble nature resonated deeply with those in attendance.

“I have met many people, but I never imagined a woman of such stature caring for us in this way. May God bless her for this kindness,” said one young man, overcome with appreciation.

Another attendee, a young woman, expressed her admiration, stating, “Miriam is so down-to-earth. Others might have distanced themselves, but she spoke to us live without pretense. We laughed and celebrated together, and it was a truly joyful experience.”

Aunt Zai, reflecting on her friendship with the model, praised her unwavering compassion.

“Since meeting her in 2015, I have witnessed her immense kindness. She embodies love, generosity, and humility—qualities that are rare among celebrities, particularly in Tanzania.”

Odemba, who has built a strong online presence in recent years, emphasized the importance of giving back.

“I am beyond happy to be part of this act of worship. It keeps me connected to my community, proving that distance means nothing in today’s world. Thank you, Aunt Zai, thank you Mbagala Mbande, and thank you, my Tanzania team. I love you all,” she expressed.

Beyond her charitable work, Odemba has been making waves with her campaign, Lemba la Odemba, which promotes the cultural significance of headscarf tying among Tanzanian women. She views it as a way to empower women while celebrating African heritage.

Her involvement in such initiatives aligns with the mission of her organization, which is committed to uplifting communities and transforming the lives of young girls in Tanzania.

Through her philanthropy and cultural advocacy, Miriam Odemba continues to inspire and make a tangible impact in her homeland.
