The Commissioner of Yei River County, Samuel Henry Malimbo, has donated a new bicycle to a resident living with a disability in an effort to improve his mobility and support his daily activities.
The beneficiary, Martin Lomoro Emmanuel, who has lived with a hearing impairment since birth, received the bicycle during a handover ceremony in Yei and expressed gratitude for the support provided by the county administration.
According to Martin, the bicycle will significantly ease his movement and enable him to carry out his day-to-day activities more independently.
Speaking through sign language, Martin thanked Commissioner Malimbo for the gesture, describing it as the first time in his life that he had received such support.
His expressions of joy and appreciation reflected the importance of the assistance to his personal well-being and mobility.
Commissioner Malimbo reaffirmed the county administration’s commitment to supporting vulnerable members of the community, including persons living with disabilities, and promoting their inclusion in social and economic activities.
The donation has been welcomed as a positive step towards improving the welfare of persons with disabilities and advancing efforts to promote inclusivity, equal opportunities, and community support in Yei River County.
