First Lady Arya Ali yesterday turned the sod signalling the commencement of construction of a Business Centre For Persons with Disabilities.

The centre is expected to offer manufacturing of products, a retail space, technical training, and therapy – a first of its kind in the county of Berbice – and is expected to drastically improve the lives of persons living with disabilities.

Mrs Ali, delivering remarks at the sod-turning ceremony, explained that construction of the state-of-the-art business centre will commence this month. After the construction phase, the Office of the First Lady will furnish the modern structure and provide the “startup capital necessary to operationalize it.”
