The Rotary Club of Abuja Cosmopolitan district 9125 has distributed palliative items to some physically challenged persons at the Karamajiji Disabled Colony in Abuja Municipal Area Council.

The items, which were donated last Saturday, were part of efforts to cushion the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic ravaging the world since its outbreak.

According to THISDAY reports, the donated items included tubers of yam, loafs of bread, cartons of sachets Milo and milk as well as sugar.

While presenting the items, the out-going President of the club, Ms Chinwe Ogbuka, said the Rotary Club as a humanitarian organisation offered the gesture to support the people who were one of the less privileged groups in the society.

Ogbuka said the Karamajiji Disabled Colony was one of the adopted communities the club had beensupporting in the past two years.

She noted that the initial plan for this year, was for the Rotarians to have breakfast with the people, but that the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow the plan to go through.
