The Berekum East Municipal Chief Executive, Hon. Hajia Fati Abubakar Binta, has distributed the First and Second Quarter allocations for 2026 to Persons Living with Disabilities in Berekum East.

The distribution took place on Monday, 9th November 2026.

She acknowledged His Excellency John Dramani Mahama for his continued efforts to consistently support Persons with Disabilities to date.

Some of the items presented to the beneficiaries included deep freezers, sewing machines, glass-cutting machines, fufu machines, industrial machines, knitting machines, and second-hand clothing.

She explained that the reason for the distribution exercise is to enable the beneficiaries to use the items to work and support themselves and their families, so as to avoid begging on the streets in Berekum.

She added that an amount of GH¢346,000 was used to buy the items for the First and Second Quarter.

She also disclosed that the Assembly is supporting one student, Stella, who is schooling at Berekum College of Education, by paying her fees.

Hon. Hajia Fati stated clearly that 43 Persons with Disabilities benefited, out of which 16 received financial support and the remaining beneficiaries received items.

She advised them not to sell the items, but to use them to benefit themselves.

Finally, the Persons Living with Disabilities expressed their profound gratitude to the President, the MCE, and all stakeholders for remembering them with the items, and also encouraged their colleagues to use them wisely to help themselves.
