NGO Distributes Palliatives, Offers Free Medical Check-Up For PWDS

Gallant Women Ability Foundation (G-WAF), a Non-Governmental Organisation, has distributed food items and offered free medical check-up for People With Disabilities (PWDs).
The organisation, which distributed food items including noodles, rice, salt and garri, also did check-up on the people in Gaube rural community, Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory on Monday.
The Founder, G-WAF, Mrs Laide Awosedo, said at the event that the gesture was in line with the organisation’s mandate to provide succour and empowerment for PWD’s.
According to her, the organisation will also empower three persons from among the PWD’s in whichever area of business they desire to venture into.
Awosedo, also living with a disability said the COVID-19 pandemic had further exposed PWDs to poor access to medical facilities, care and economic hardship.
She called on other philanthropists to emulate the gesture as it would reduce the hardship experienced by PWDs, which was further aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
