Executive Summary

On August 21, 2012, Ghana’s ratification of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities affirmed Ghana’s commitment to respect the human rights of all its citizens, including those with disabilities. While Ghana was one of the first countries to sign the Disability Rights Convention, in March 2007, it took the government more than five years to complete the ratification process. During this period, people with disabilities have continued to experience severe violations of their human rights, lack of access to healthcare and societal discrimination.

 

Charismatic Evangelistic Ministry’s Christ to the Rural World (CEM/CRW) realizing the importance of upholding the value of human life and the concerns of Persons with Disability is creating a platform for the provision of spiritual, physical, medical, material assistance and aids to alleviate their plight. CRW as a result is organizing “A Day of Help for Persons with Disability” which includes the Visually impaired, Deaf, Burnt Survivors, Physically Challenged, Mental Health, Autistic Persons, Down Syndrome Children, and Albinos etc. at the Independence Square, Accra Ghana on the 27th of August 2016 to provide free medical care, clothing, food items, toiletries, mattresses, pillows, sponge and other items for about 7,000 persons with disability in Greater Accra Region. 


PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The “Day of Help” is an initiative of the CEM/CRW, which aims at reaching out to about 7,000 Persons with Disability in the Greater Accra Region. Statistics gathered from the Centre for Employment of Persons with Disability (CEPD) shows that there are over 5,000 registered persons with disabilities within the Greater Accra Region represented in the following percentages:

  • Physically challenged - 27.90%
  • Deaf - 20.93%
  • Visually impaired - 18.60%
  • Autism - 4.65%
  • Albinism - 6.98%
  • Down Syndrome - 4.65%
  • Burnt survivors - 2.33%
  • Mental Health - 13.95%

CEM/CRW has therefore designed this Day of Help to meet the challenging needs of the above described.
