The items were presented at a brief ceremony organised by the Gushegu Municipal Assembly as part of efforts to empower beneficiaries to become economically independent and improve their living conditions.

The support included 90 goats, eight deep freezers, two motorised motorbikes, three sets of barbering tools, one laptop, and one wheelchair. Additionally, 15 beneficiaries received medical and educational assistance to address their specific needs.

The intervention forms part of efforts by the MCE and the NDC government to promote economic empowerment, social inclusion and equal opportunities for Persons with Disabilities.

Hon. Abdul-Hafiz Adam emphasised the importance of creating opportunities for PWDs to engage in productive activities, improve their livelihoods and live with dignity.

The initiative underscores the Assembly's commitment to ensuring that Persons with Disabilities are not left behind in the municipality's development agenda.
