What We Do
Who We Train & Why
Sustainable inclusion requires that everyone who touches the life of a person with disability – from health worker to village elder – understands disability rights and referral pathways.
Healthcare Workers
Hospital staff, clinical officers, and nurses receive training on disability mainstreaming, respectful communication, and making clinical services accessible to persons with disabilities.
Trainers of Trainers (ToT)
Community Health Assistants (CHAs) are trained as ToTs to cascade disability inclusion skills to CHPs at sub‑county level, ensuring sustainability.
Local Leaders & NGAOs
Chiefs, religious leaders, and National Government Administrative Officers (NGAOs) learn about disability rights, referral coordination, and how to support inclusive community planning.
Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs)
Leadership, governance, advocacy skills, and how to hold service providers accountable – strengthening OPDs to become effective self‑advocates.
Data Capture & Referral Tools
Consistent use of standardised referral forms and disability data registers – improving coordination and evidence‑based decision‑making.
