Sixty-Eight persons with disabilities have received items and cash at Shama in the Western Region.
The disbursement took place after the assembly members in collaboration with the District Department of Social Welfare and Community Development had conducted feasibility studies on the needs of people with disabilities.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) of Shama, Mr. Ebenezer Dadzie said all people living with disabilities should be seen as part of the community and must be supported in various ways to make their living comfortable.
He said 68 persons with disabilities in the district would be given items ranging from deep freezers, containers, industrial sewing machine, fufu pounding machine, pipe connection, wheel chairs, carpentry tools, phone accessories and provisions including some start-up capital in cash.
He told the persons with disabilities to count themselves as able bodied persons who could stand up to the task of any work and this would make them live comfortably adding “change your mindset and situations will work well for you”.
Mr. Dadzie said the assembly members from the different electoral areas in collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare would monitor the operations and evaluate the performance of each beneficiary and report to the assembly.
Madam Cynthia Kumi who received a deep freezer told this reporter she stayed very close to the road at Shama Junction and so she would sell water, minerals and other consumables and use the profit to improve on her living condition.

Christians have been urged to demonstrate a living faith in Jesus Christ by allowing their confession of Him as Lord and Saviour to reflect in their daily lives.
According to the Kaneshie District Pastor of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana (EPCG), Rev. Dzidzor Nathaniel Affram, a genuine Christian’s confession should go beyond words and be demonstrated through obedience to God, love for others and service to the Church.
He made the call at the 40th anniversary remembrance service for the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo at the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Maranatha Congregation at Awudome Avenui in the Volta Region.
Speaking on the theme, “The Church Built on a Living Confession,” Rev. Affram said life would continually present challenges capable of testing Christians’ faith, making it necessary for believers to hold firmly to their confession that Jesus Christ is Lord.
He explained that accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour required Christians to live according to His teachings, stressing that their faith must be evident in their conduct.
“A living confession listens to God and not man,” he said, urging Christians to remain obedient to God even when faced with difficulties and pressures.
Rev. Affram further encouraged the congregation to care for vulnerable people and demonstrate concern for others, adding that such acts were practical expressions of Christian faith.
He also urged Christians to identify and use their God-given gifts to build the Church.
He said every member of the Church had a role to play and cautioned Christians against looking down on others because of their status or abilities.
The remembrance service brought together family members, friends, members of the congregation and sympathisers to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the late Wesley Kwasi Kwadzo.
