The two day camp, a partnership with Narayan Seva Sansathan Indian Hospital , will issue artificial limbs and offer diagnosis for more people with related disabilities for issuance at a later date. The camp is an initiative of the government to ensure economic empowerment of People Living with Disabilities(PWDs).

"I am grateful for the county government of Meru which has always worked closely with the national government to ensure that its people are living a better quality of life.Let's go out there and inform people of this camp to help the physically challenged to get help for financial empowerment to nurture good social relationships because poverty breeds enmity among people," said Professor Margaret Kobia, CS of Public Service, Youth and Gender Affairs.

Alongside being gifted with free brand-new limbs, the county government has facilitated the provision of County enterprise fund to finance self help group investments of the physically challenged and other marginalized groups in the county.

"In giving the artificial limb, we are empowering our people to be productive. We thank our partner, who have worked with Meru county to empower our people thus directly contributing to social, economic and political development," said Madam Linah Kailanya, the CECM Education and Gender department.

The CECM lauded the initiative since it helped improve the lives of the physically challenged by promoting their ability to be economically endowed thus nurture good social relationships to eliminate relative problems like gender based violence
