Items presented included; physical money, containers, outboard motors, brand new deep freezers, fridges, beehive caves, wheel chairs, provisions, rubber nets, corn and cassava milling machine among others.

At a short ceremony to present the items to the beneficiaries, Mr. George Ofori, the District Chief Executive said the gesture was made possible with the District Assembly Disability Fund Management Committee.

He entreated the beneficiaries to invest the money into productive ventures to help uplift their standards of living and welfare cautioning them against selling the logistics given to them.

He explained that the selection of beneficiaries was transparent since they had used the prescribed guidelines to arrive at the decision as to who should benefit out of the numerous applications they received seeking for support from the fund.

He said that one major requirement was that the applicant for the fund must of necessity be a disabled person and submitted an application detailing what he or she intended to use the money for and based on the convincing reasons stated the committee approved it.

Mr Ofori stated that the purpose of the fund was to empower persons with disability economically to get them out of the street begging.

The beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the Assembly for considering them for the fund and promised to use it in ways that would benefit them and their dependents.
