About 500 people living with disabilities are said to be registered by Kanye District council and according to the Primary Health Care Services, deputy council secretary, Mr Conrad Ntsuape, the differently able persons were faced with challenges such as high poverty levels among others.
Allowing differently able persons to learn, work and live with dignity strengthens the entire community, says Giyani Metals corporation country manager, Ms Elisa Modikwa.
Speaking during the Kanye District Disability Day on Friday, she hailed Segopotso Primary school’s good performance as a beacon of hope.
“We are proud of our ongoing collaborations with Segopotso Primary school, specifically the special privilege of serving the differently able persons,” said Ms Modikwa.
She regarded persons living with disabilities an important part of Giyani’s engagements and programmes, noting that the company would not like to only support school development but also contribute towards learners’ wellbeing as well.
To encourage that, the school received materials and would be assisted with labour to build a poultry house to improve learner’s diet, as well as skin care products- sunscreen lotions.
Ms Modikwa further said though a small gesture, it was the company’s commitment to working with the school to create opportunities that build confidence and support learning.
