Mentally ill and PWD to be catered for during the 2 weeks partial lockdown

 

 

As part of Government’s efforts against CODIV-19, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection with support from the Finance Ministry, NADMO and other cooperate agencies would be supporting the vulnerable and the needy including the mentally ill and Persons with Disability.

According to the Ministry, there would be places to house those living on the street for the next two weeks during the lockdown period and beyond when necessary. According to the Minister 15,000 of them would be catered for and logistics provided for those in rented apartments to prevent them from going to town.

There would be enough food and water. Cooperate bodies are also supporting by cooking for about 10000 needy people. Food will also be sent to people on the street like the mentally retarded people where 20 of them will be picked and kept clean and while others are given food and water twice every day. Besides 10,435 persons with disability would also be attended to.

These vulnerable people will not only be fed but would also be taught personal hygiene and social distancing where 15000 sanitizers, soap, water and veronica buckets will be provided on their compounds.
