The Department of Social Welfare (DSW), Korle-Klottey Municipality has distributed food items to persons with disabilities.
The support, which targeted 200 persons with disabilities within the Municipality, is part of the interventions of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, with funding from the Ministry of Finance, to support the needy and vulnerable, reports News Ghana.
Persons with disabilities were given food items such as rice, yam, mackerel, canned tomato, cooking oil and sardines.
Mrs Lydia Winifred Mensah-Bonsu, the Director of Social Welfare and Community Development, DSW, Korle-Klottey Municipality, explained that some of the beneficiaries had been neglected by their families, while others could do nothing for themselves, especially when it came to finding their basic daily meals.
She said the Department mobilised the beneficiaries by making an announcement in the area, adding that, they would organise similar activities to ensure that most persons with disabilities in the Municipality were covered.
