The North Tongu District Assembly has extended financial assistance to 64 Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) under the District Disability Common Fund to promote inclusion and improve their livelihoods.

The support, provided on Monday, 28th September 2026, covered beneficiaries from the six traditional areas of Mepe, Battor, Volo, Torgorme, Fodzoku and Dorfor. Assistance was provided under four categories: education, caregivers’ support, start-up capital and medical assistance.

The Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring that the fund reaches its intended beneficiaries transparently. Beneficiaries who received start-up capital were encouraged to invest the funds in productive ventures capable of generating sustainable income.

The Assembly acknowledged the contributions of the Social Services Committee, management and staff in advancing the welfare and empowerment of Persons with Disabilities.

The initiative reflects the Assembly’s commitment to inclusive development and ensuring that persons with disabilities have opportunities to improve their livelihoods and support their families.
