The people of the adjacent areas also hopes to continue this work to reach many thousands of people with disabilities; who still need support and access to other basic necessities of life. Many people complained that there had been no real relief effort for PWDs in the area up to now and this is the first time that such type of support is provided to the PWDs of the area.
