Organisation empowers physically challenged persons

The Real House of Courage, a faith-based organisation, has empowered 22 physically challenged persons with skills to enable them to be self-reliant.

The organisation trained the physically challenged persons in soap and sanitiser making and gave them starter kits.

It presentated the starter kits to the beneficiaries on Saturday at the Four Square Gospel Church, Fagba, Iju, Agege, Lagos State.

Supreme news reports the event was tagged: “Being Unique”.

Certificates of participation in the training were given to the beneficiaries.

The facilitator, Mr Benjamin Odagbon, urged physically challenged persons never to be discouraged by their conditions.

He encouraged them to have positive mindsets at all times and do their best to achieve their aspirations.

“Nothing can stop you if you believe in yourselves and live like every other person in the society.

“Pursue your goals, and you will achieve them,” he said.

The trainer, Mr Isaac Olayinka, urged them to see themselves as unique and capable of positively impacting the society.

“You have undergone a training, see it as a springboard to advance yourselves,” he said.

He thanked the organisers for the gesture, urging the beneficiaries to make the best use of the opportunity.

One of the beneficiaries, Mr Abbey Lawal, said that the training would enable him to produce soaps for sale.
