Shai Osudoku Assembly supports 58 PWDs with starter packs

In the Greater Accra Region of Ghana, the Shai Osudoku District Assembly has taken a significant step to empower 58 Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) by distributing essential starter packs and support items. These provisions are designed to help the beneficiaries establish businesses and improve their overall livelihoods.

The distributed items, tailored to individual needs identified through a thorough assessment, included vital equipment like chest freezers, corn-popping machines, and laptops. Additionally, beneficiaries received wheelchairs, medical support, and cash grants. Ms. Eunice Korankye, the District Coordinating Director, presented the items on behalf of the District Chief Executive, emphasizing the importance of effective utilization for personal and community development.

"Make effective use of the items to improve your living conditions, support your families, and contribute to the socio-economic development of your communities," Ms. Korankye urged the recipients. She also appealed to parents of children with disabilities to encourage their children's social integration, advising against hiding them at home.

The Assembly's Presiding Member, Mr. Nicholas Owen Korletey, highlighted that this distribution marks the second batch of beneficiaries for the year. He cautioned against the misuse of the provided items, announcing the formation of a monitoring team to ensure proper utilization and maintenance. Complementing these efforts, the District Director of the National Health Insurance Scheme offered free NHIS registration and renewal services for the PWDs and their families, further supporting their well-being.
