Apo Aanu, a personal give-back initiative of the lawmaker, has become a regular monthly feature under the Foundation’s iCare programme, reaching hundreds of households across the constituency.
The February distribution, which catered to 500 beneficiaries, further underscored the Foundation’s commitment to addressing food insecurity and providing direct relief to residents in need.
