Ghana's NDC Empowers Disabled Youth Through Catfish Farming

Ghanaian Government Launches Catfish Farming Initiative for People with Disabilities A new initiative by the Ghanaian government aims to empower 300 young people with disabilities by providing them with the resources to start their own catfish farms. This program, spearheaded by the NDC, is part of a broader effort to promote self-reliance and economic independence among vulnerable populations. The initiative provides participants with training and supplies, including 500 fingerlings, to start and manage their own small-scale fish farms. "This government is looking at the needs of all people," says a speaker in the video. "We are not just giving handouts, but providing the tools for people to build their own futures." The video also highlights a contrast between this initiative and the perceived approach of the opposing NPP party, suggesting the NPP focuses on benefiting a smaller elite group. While the claims require verification, the initiative itself offers a compelling story of empowerment and economic opportunity for a marginalized community. The success of this program could serve as a model for other nations seeking to support people with disabilities.
