The Leader Joe 1808 Foundation, at the weekend donated food items, sanitisers and clothes to 1,000 persons with disabilities living in Karamajiji, a suburb of Abuja, to soften the suffering of the less privileged in the society.

Founder Leader Joe 1808 Foundation Joseph Onus, told reporters that for three years the Foundation had run a program ‘feed a thousand’, noting that in the forthcoming years, it would do more.

He said that the action was prompted by a passion for humanitarian service and love for communal growth.

“Two years ago some persons were arguing if this program was politically motivated. And I told them if it was politically motivated, every politician should do the same. I tell people that we have covered more than 60 local communities in Abuja. Doing our medical outreach support, communal growth and also empowering the youths.

“In the nearest future, we are looking at building a medical outlet in most of these communities because they don’t have. And we are also considering building a foundation where they could be taught how to use their skills to make money for themselves.”
