SWIDA-Ghana’s hosted its funding partners, the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office to engage directly with the organization and its beneficiaries, as it witnesses the impact of the work done over the years.
Various stakeholders were represented to share the impacts of the project since its implementation, on their lives.
One such group which made a profound revelation was the Persons With Disabilities, who shared their stories of empowerment through the project.
According to the represented of the PWDs, for the first time after the engagements they have had through the project, many of them were able to secure jobs as polling agents, a dream they had been working towards for years.
Additionally, the training on elections and the opportunity to engage with Electoral Commission officials enabled them to vote independently this year without the need to queue.
These milestones highlight the real change that is happening through collaboration and support.
All the groups represented expressed their gratitude for the empowerment the project has brought to them as individuals, and in their communities.
These partnerships with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office and STAR-Ghana Foundation have not only helped bring hope to Persons with Disabilities, but have also empowered the youth in many ways.
