Persons living with
disabilities in Mathioya benefitted with wheelchairs and other walking aids
following the intervention of CDF and Goal Setters Foundation.
The 65 beneficiaries among them five children
received the aids from area MP Peter Kimari and officials of the foundation ending years
of challenges.
Speaking at Kiria ini NG CDF office, Kimari said the government has a policy to reach out the needy persons, but there were those shielding them from getting close.
The support is valued at Sh300,000 which will be a blessing to the needy persons.
“It is worth noting that
the government policies are clear on the support of persons with special needs to
enable them to earn a living,” said the MP.
Mathioya CDF, he added was ready to partner
with individuals and organisations committed to improving the standard of the living of the needy persons.
