Vice President Bawumia has officially broke ground for the construction of a 9,000 home-inclusive empowerment centre in Ghana. The centre will be built for Persons Living with Disabilities (PWDs) at Agortor-Kope in the Ningo-Prampram District.

The Charismatic Evangelistic Ministry (CEM) created the CEM Ability Village through the Church’s Ability Village Charity to help and empower people with impairments through skill training and specialized healthcare to encourage their full involvement in society.

The project’s first phase, which will cover 500 acres, will begin immediately. While the charity keeps looking for money and resources to complete the full project quickly.

Remarks on the construction of inclusive empowerment centre in Ghana

Dr. Bawumia said, “Since you started the “Day of Help” for people with disabilities, I have been following your remarkable efforts to provide this vulnerable population with medical attention, assistive gadgets, and other necessities.”

“In order to fully integrate into our communities, people with disabilities must overcome a multitude of social, psychological, physical, educational, transportation, and communication challenges every day. These barriers result in negative consequences such as social marginalization, and issues with physical and mental health. As well as stigmatization, discrimination, low self-esteem, and problems with money,” he continued.

“This historic event for the inclusive empowerment centre in Ghana serves as a call to action to support PWDs. I will urge everyone to donate generously to this great endeavour, including corporate Ghana, the donor community, and development partners. As well as associations and clubs, religious institutions, and individual donors. Donations of construction supplies and equipment for the hospital and skill training facilities, as well as technical support from development partners, are all appreciated,” he emphasized.
