ASUOGYAMAN DISTRICT ASSEMBLY SUPPORTS PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES WITH LIVELIHOOD INTERVENTIONS
The Asuogyaman District Assembly on 22nd June 2026 undertook a significant initiative aimed at promoting inclusion,empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) within the district.
The presentation ceremony was led by the Hon. District Chief Executive, Hon. Godwin Bobobee, and supported by the District Coordinating Director, Heads of Departments, and staff of the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development.
Beneficiaries received a variety of livelihood support items tailored to their individual trades and economic activities. These included agrochemicals, a washing machine, paints, provisions, a movable cassava grinding machine, cosmetics, hairdressing tools, six wheelbarrows, a welding machine, deep freezers, barbering machines, liquid soap production materials, as well as food items such as beans, onions, pepper, gari, and palm oil.
The intervention is intended to enhance the economic independence and social wellbeing of beneficiaries by providing them with the tools and resources needed to expand existing businesses or establish new sources of income.
Speaking at the event, the Hon. DCE reiterated the Assembly’s commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind in the district’s development agenda. He emphasized that empowering Persons with Disabilities is not merely an act of charity but a strategic investment in human potential and inclusive growth.
This initiative reflects the Assembly’s dedication to translating social protection policies into tangible benefits for vulnerable groups. By supporting PWDs with productive assets and livelihood opportunities, the Assembly continues to foster dignity, self-reliance, and community participation.
The Asuogyaman District Assembly commends the Department of Social Welfare and Community Development and all stakeholders whose efforts contributed to the success of this programme. It is our hope that this support will create lasting opportunities, improve livelihoods, and bring renewed hope to beneficiary households.
Together, we are building an inclusive, resilient, and prosperous Asuogyaman District.
