But festive celebrations don't have to break the bank! Here are some ideas for a budget-friendly Eid al-Fitr that's inclusive for both Muslims and non-Muslims:

Homemade Delights: Eid al-Fitr is traditionally a time for sweet treats. Skip the pre-packaged sweets and get creative! Explore recipes for classics like dates and nuts, or try Ugandan favorites like mandazi (fried dough) or rolex (chapati filled with an omelette).
Decorate Simply: Create a festive atmosphere without spending a fortune. String colorful lights, use fabric scraps for table runners, and gather branches for a natural centerpiece. Kids can even get involved by making paper decorations or greeting cards.
Gift-Giving with a Twist: Gifts are a lovely way to show appreciation, but expensive presents aren't necessary. Opt for homemade baked goods, a jar filled with homemade spices, or a heartfelt card expressing your well wishes.
Focus on Activities: Plan activities that bring people together. Organize game nights, have a movie marathon with classic Ugandan films, or enjoy a nature walk.
Volunteer Together: Eid al-Fitr is a time for giving back. Organize a volunteer activity at a local charity or soup kitchen. This fosters a spirit of community and allows everyone to contribute to those in need.
