Defence and Police Officers Wives Association (DEPOWA) on Wednesday in Abuja donated cash, PPE, wraps and food items to over 60 persons with disabilities, widows and orphans in FCT.
According to the President of the group Dr (Mrs) Omobolanle Olonisakin, the gesture is to cushion the effect of COVID-19 economic challenges on Persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. She also said that the items given would go a long way to cater for the households of the beneficiaries for some days.
The beneficiaries got the following items each, cash of 5, 000 naira, a wrap, a cartoon of 120g of indomie noodles, 3 litres of groundnut oil, hand sanitizer, face mask, 25kg of rice, 5 kg of beans, two packets of sugar, 500g of Bournvita, 350g of threecrown milk, a sachets of macaroni.
PWDs at the event were elated by the gesture and some of them who spoke to The Qualitative magazine TQM regarded the palliative as one of the best they have received and it will go a long way to sustain them. They appreciate the group and pray that God replenish their pockets.
