Rotary Club Executes Multi-Focus Humanitarian Projects In Abuja

Rotary Club of Abuja, Kubwa Gateway, has executed a series of projects under its four key areas : basic education and literacy, water, sanitation and hygiene, disease prevention and treatment, as well as economic and community development.

This was disclosed by the president of the club, Rotarian Dr Sunday Fasipe, who reaffirmed Rotary’s commitment to improving living standards through sustainable and people-centred interventions.

According to him, the recently implemented “three-in-one project” reflects Rotary’s multidimensional approach to service. The first initiative, tagged “Pad a Thousand Girls,” targeted 1,000 adolescent girls aged between 12 and 15 years, providing them with sanitary materials to last six months. The project aimed at promoting menstrual hygiene, confidence, and school attendance among female students.

The second intervention, a Spelling Bee Competition, brought together 10 junior secondary schools under the Bwari Area Council to promote literacy, spelling accuracy, and academic excellence.

Winners of the competition, from first to third place, were awarded scholarships to further encourage educational pursuits and intellectual growth among students.

The third project focused on water , sanitation , hygiene and disease prevention  through the construction of a modern washroom for female teachers at Government Secondary School, Kubwa, opposite the General Hospital.

The facility, according to the club president, seeks to provide a safe and hygienic environment that supports the well-being of teachers and promotes workplace dignity.

The president added that the projects align with the club’s earlier commitment announced during his  installation as the 11th President of Rotary Club of Abuja, Kubwa Gateway, where he unveiled a N65 million humanitarian plan targeting vulnerable groups within Kubwa and its environs.

He emphasised that the club remains steadfast in its mission to deliver impactful projects across key sectors, including healthcare, education, and hygiene.

“Rotary’s service is about creating sustainable change in our communities,” he stated, adding that the club will continue to implement people-oriented projects that address identified needs in the Federal Capital Territory. He revealed that  a multimillion naira ultra modern healthcare facility is in the pipeline.  He further appealed to well-spirited Nigerians and government bodies to support this cause for a better living and healthy life in Nigeria.

He lauded the efforts of Rotarian Prince Kingsley Chukwudi Onuorah, the project chairman, for his dedication and commitment to seeing the success of the projects.

On his part, Onuorah praised the team for a job well done while also adding that the club will continue to represent its core mandate of serving humanity.
