Each family was given 10 kg of rice, three liters of cooking oil, 10 kg of beans, and  10 kg of maize flour.<\/p>\n<p>The Kanyinya Sector Executive Secretary Rutubuka Emmanuel said the suport has come in handy. &#8220;They were already in trouble, as genocide survivors, as those who had been expelled from Tanzania who had nothing else to do to improve their lives. Even the ex-military needed support. The coronavirus has affected their economic and social well-being. So this support is valuable,\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Rutubuka said the food is normally delivered to the underprivileged to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>The Managing Director, Kigali Serena Hotel, Daniel Sambai, said the epidemic had affected all the world&#8217;s population but it\u2019s important to work together with all people to overcome it which informed their support. <\/p>\n<p>Sambai also encouraged Rwandans to adhere to the Coronavirus prevention guidelines by following the instructions of the Ministry of Health, which includes frequent washing of the hands and wearing a mask.<\/p>\n<p>Kigali Serena Hotel is a five-star hotel that started operating in Rwanda on February 1, 2007.
