Ms Agyare-Ashie said the organization is also supporting Mr Seth Kwame Boateng of Joy FM with his wheelchair project.
Ms Cornelia Boateng, Founder of Woodfield Manor School, on behalf of the beneficiary organizations expressed her gratitude for the kind gesture.
She said there are many parents of children with autism within her community who are unable to bring their children to the school because they can’t afford transportation.

Evangelist Solomon Fletcher, an adult who lives with cerebral palsy, who also received an undisclosed amount urged the District Assemblies to support parents of children with disability with the funds dedicated for persons with disabilities, saying, “most parents of these children are unable to work to earn an income and support themselves.”
