The Rotary Club Abuja Capital has undertaken a charitable initiative by distributing essential items to over 100 indigent women in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The distribution included food items and sanitary materials, such as cartoons of noodles, toothpaste, liquid Dettol, detergents, roll-on deodorant, vaseline, and bathing soap, among other necessities.
Rotrn. Adeuja Oluwasogo, the President of Rotary Club Abuja Capital, addressed the distribution event near the Maitama Police Divisional Headquarters, stating that the program was organized in honor of Rotary Maternal and Child Health.
In alignment with Rotary International’s monthly theme, the club’s project aimed to provide sanitary pads to women who are unable to afford them. Oluwasogo further added that the club extended its services to the Kuchigoro community in the FCT, offering free hepatitis screening, vaccination, counseling, and referrals as part of the outreach to commemorate the 2023 World Hepatitis Day.
“This is Maternal and Child Health Month, and it is one of the areas of focus for the Rotary Cub. We had a project on Hepatitis B last Friday.
“We went to one of our communities, Kuchigoro, where we vaccinated residents. We also did awareness and testing. They took the first dose. We are going back for the second and third,” he said.
