The Nadowli-Kaleo District Assembly on Tuesday joined the global community to commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, highlighting the need for a more inclusive society that promotes equal rights, dignity, and development for all.
Held under the leadership of the District Chief Executive, Hon. Mary Haruna, the celebration focused on this year’s theme: “Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress.” Hon. Haruna used the occasion to outline interventions the Assembly has rolled out to support persons living with disabilities within the district, noting that her administration prioritises inclusion as a pillar of development.
She reaffirmed her commitment to championing policies and support systems that uplift persons with special needs, stressing that every individual—regardless of physical or social limitation—deserves the opportunity to live a dignified and meaningful life.
The event featured artistic and advocacy performances, including a special appearance by Vida, the Necessary Aid Alliance Ghana musician behind the popular disability advocacy song Tezaawaanuba. Leadership of the youth-driven organisation also gave a presentation detailing their advocacy work and initiatives aimed at improving the welfare and visibility of persons living with disabilities.
The Assembly emphasised that it remains resolute in its mission to promote inclusion, break barriers, and create opportunities for every resident of the district to thrive.
