COUNTY GOVERNMENT OF NANDI ISSUES WHEELCHAIRS TO PERSONS LIVING WITH DISABILITIES IN CHESUMEI AND EMGWEN SUB-COUNTIES.
Disability does not equate to incapacity. People who live in Emgwen, Chesumei, and the surrounding areas are asked to come forward if they know of someone who needs assistance or if such a person lives in their home.
The assessment and distribution of wheelchairs are ongoing.
The department’s staff will visit Olesos dispensary tomorrow to evaluate children and adults with disabilities who might require wheelchairs.
Disability-aware individuals who might not have received wheelchairs based on assessment are advised to follow up on a designated date once their wheelchairs are delivered.
“As a department, we are committed to ensuring persons living with disabilities feel part and parcel of society” , said Rose Angria CECM for Sports Youth, Culture, Gender and Social Welfare.# Halt the prejudice towards people who are disabled.
