The Kwadaso Municipality Assembly, in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare, has presented items and cash amounting to GH¢86,500 to Persons Living With Disabilities (PWDs) in the area.
The items included 33 wheelchairs, 11 refrigerators, two knitting machine, and one shoemaking machine.
The rest are a cold store business set up, charcoal start-up equipment, a fufu pounding machine, and roofing of containers.
Presenting the items, the Kwadaso Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Richmond Agyenim Boateng, and the Municipal Coordinating Director, Mr. Emmanuel Ntoso, cautioned the PWDs to make good use of the opportunity to promote the government’s policy geared towards minimising the high rate of poverty among them.
The MCE noted that the vision of the president to ensure the healthy conditions for PWDs in the country was gradually making a significant impact on their lives.
He said barely four years after the establishment of the Kwadaso Municipality Assembly it has donated items and cash on three consecutive times to the PWDs, and that the gesture would be extended to other beneficiaries who apply for the facility next year.
