The Premier League club's supporters took the measure so as to help vulnerable members of the society cope with Covid-19 effects
Arsenal fans, through the Rwanda Arsenal Fan Club (RAFC), donated food to families in the Kigarama, Gasabo district to help them cope with the coronavirus pandemic.
The donation was forwarded to some 480 families as the RAFC continues with their programmes of reaching out to the needy, since their inception in 2013.
“Looking at the Kwibuka26 commemoration [the 26th Commemoration of the genocide against the Tutsi] period and current [coronavirus] crisis that we are facing, we realized our relatives and friends who lost their beloved ones during the genocide, could be facing an even greater challenge during this Covid-19 lockdown that was implemented as a preventive measure to curb the spread of this coronavirus,” RAFC's president Kevin Aaron Mwami told The New Times.
