Persons with disability from the Coast region have all reasons to smile after receiving early christmas courtesy of a Mombasa based philantropist.

The philanthropist has decided to give Sh1, 000 per month, for six months, to each of the a thousand registered persons with disability from the region. as a way of giving back to the society.

On Tuesday over 100 PWDs received Sh6, 000.

Imtiaz Sayani, a representative of Mombasa Cement company which runs the initiative revealed that this will be a biannual program.

"After six months, they will come backfor another Sh6,000. It is just to make them feel loved and cared for," he said.

The beneficiaries could not hide their joys noting they could not celebrate Christmas like others before for luck of money but this year it will be different.

"I will have to travel to Kisii this time saw I can spend Christmaswith my family," said James Omae, one of the beneficiaries.
