CFI provides custom-made wheelchairs to enhance independent movement among PWDs, fostering inclusivity and accessibility within communities.
These VSLAs are inclusive groups formed by CFI specifically for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs).
The wheelchairs are worth shs12 million, and Engola urged the recipients to understand that having a disability does not mean the end of their lives.
The majority of leaders need them during election season and then turn a blind eye, according to Tonny Obong, the PWDs councillor for Lira City West.
Okot Lil Romeo, TND News regional correspondent based in Gulu City spoke to some PWDs and they commented on the RCC’s request.
The public should let us know of any PWD who do not have a national ID so that we can come in to help.
