Rotary Distributes Food Items, Sanitary Materials To Indigent FCT Women

The Rotary Club Abuja Capital has distributed food items and sanitary materials to over 100 indigent women in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Other items distributed were cartoons of noodles, toothpaste, liquid Dettol, detergents, roll, deodorant, vaseline, and bathing soap among others.

President of Rotary Club Abuja Capital, Rotrn. Adeuja Oluwasogo, who spoke at the distribution venue around the Maitama Police Divisional Headquarters said the programme was organised in commemoration of the Rotary Maternal and Child Health.

According to Oluwasogo, in observing the theme of the month for Rotary International, one of their projects is the distribution of sanitary pads to women because some women cannot afford sanitary pads.

He also explained that the club also offered free hepatitis screening, vaccination, counseling, and referral to residents of the Kuchigoro community in the FCT and that the outreach was in commemoration of 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.
