More than thirty people benefited from the fund’s latest donation in the areas of health, education, and economic development.

Refrigerators, and Pepper grinding machines, Tyling machines, Industrial Sewing machines are among the items.

Financial aid was also provided to six university students with physical limitations, as some individuals were given ¢2,580  in cash.

Speaking at a mini durbar held to present the items to the PWDs, the Birim Central municipal chief executive, Hon. Victoria Adu, stated that the fund has been extremely beneficial over the years because many vulnerable people are now able to rely on themselves while also supporting others through their businesses.

According to Madam Victory Adu, the government is doing an excellent job of making sure that people with disabilities feel included in society at large and that, as part of this effort, 3% of the common fund is designated for them to purchase startup capital for enterprises.

She has counseled the receivers to use the gifts carefully because they were requested.

Additionally, she said that the Birim Central Municipal Assembly would always make sure that they received 3% of the government district common fund whenever it became available.
