The Bosomtwe District Assembly in Ghana has utilized funds from the Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) Fund to provide over 30 individuals with disabilities with start-up kits and financial assistance, in an effort to assist their livelihoods and decrease street begging. A ceremony was held in Jachie to distribute a variety of items, such as deep freezers, fufu-pounding machines, industrial sewing machines, laptops, and other equipment designed to support their livelihoods.
