Rotary Club of Abuja Urban in partnership with Riders for Health Nigeria has donated maternal and child healthcare items to over 200 women and children in Gasaki community in Karshi development area of Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC).
The medical items were donated to all the women and children in the community at the outreach program tagged, Donation of Free Medical Items to Mother and Child.
President of the Rotary Club of Abuja Urban, Jerome Lazarus, while speaking during the outreach program said the outreach was in line with the organization’s calendar year.
He said the club decided to reach out to Gasaki community which is their adopted community, knowing that some people in the community could barely afford proper medication.
“The main purpose for doing this is to touch their lives. As you all know, government cannot be everywhere and cannot do everything for Nigerians. This is our way to support humanity and the government. The people we targeted are the less privileged people in rural communities and villages,” he said.
Lazarus further said since their outreach was targeted at the poor in rural communities, they do not take their outreach to satellite towns where residents can afford most of the things they are offering during their outreaches.
Representative of Riders for Health, Opiughie Harrison, said they decided to partner with the Rotary Club of Abuja Urban because the club decided to reach out to indigent women in the community where the organization built a healthcare facility estimated at N27m.
