The Mpohor-Fiase District Assembly has distributed livelihood support items and cash grants to persons with disabilities in the district to improve their socio-economic well-being and promote financial independence.
The support was provided through the Persons with Disabilities allocation of the District Assemblies Common Fund. At the presentation, District Chief Executive Hon. Sophia Aubyn said the Assembly is responsible for ensuring that the fund is used for its intended purpose and directly benefits persons with disabilities.
The DCE urged beneficiaries to use the items and financial support prudently to establish or expand their livelihoods, and cautioned against selling the items for short-term financial gain.
Member of Parliament Hon. Godfred Kofi Bentil reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving the welfare and living conditions of persons with disabilities. He also thanked the Assembly’s Social Welfare and Community Development Department for identifying beneficiaries with genuine needs.
The President of the district’s Federation of Persons with Disabilities, Mr. Kwesi Debra, expressed gratitude for the support and encouraged beneficiaries to use it responsibly. The distribution forms part of the Assembly’s efforts to promote social inclusion and ensure no one is left behind.
