Project Summary: 

We all know one or more persons with disabilities, the daily difficulties they face, and the high level of discrimination when it comes to employing PWDs.

PDICH took it upon herself to empower at least 20 PWDs with 20 POS Machines to help alleviate some financial challenges and improve their daily income through POS empowerment.

Our Story:

A selected representatives from different groups in the PWDs community were duly represented and in celebration and to mark the 113th International Women’s Day, PDICH partnered with the office of the FCT SSAP to make this come to fruition and to give PWDs the courage and resources to keep believing in the Nigerian government and the faith that there’s more to come from the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’.
