Former President John Dramani Mahama launched on Sunday, July 14, 2019 the CEM Ability Village, a charitable project focused on empowering people with disabilities to enable them to live more fully and with dignity in society.
Speaking at the launch of the Ministry of Charismatic Evangelism in Accra, Mr. Mahama said, "People with disabilities do not need our sympathy. They want equal opportunities. They want to be recognized and want an end to all forms of discrimination against them. We have examples, such as software engineer Farida Bedwei, who has proven that, given the possibilities, people with disabilities can even do better than many of them who have no disability. "
