The Ashaiman Area Women’s Ministry of The Church of Pentecost organised a skills training workshop for persons with disabilities (PWDs) on Tuesday, September 24, 2024. The event took place at the James McKeown Temple in the Ashaiman Estate District and was attended by 64 PWDs.
In her address, the Ashaiman Area Women’s Ministry Leader, Mrs. Evelyn Asare, noted that the area currently has 140 PWDs, many of whom are unemployed and rely on family members for their livelihood. She explained that some PWDs struggle to participate in church activities due to economic hardships. The training aimed to equip them with skills to create their own jobs and become more self-reliant.
The Area Head’s wife, Mrs. Rose Kumi-Larbi, assisted by Mrs. Evelyn Asare, presented three wheelchairs and three white canes to some of the PWDs to aid their mobility.
Also in attendance were the Area MPWD Leader, Pastor Samuel Adom-Amanfo, along with Area Women’s Ministry Executives and District Women Leaders.
