Partnership.
We know that problems facing disabled youth and disabled people in general are myriad, thus take cognizance of the fact that; building partnerships at all levels will make our work easier and achievable in the long run. With limited resources, pooling efforts together guarantees success and brings new ideas and strength to our work.
In all, we strive towards inclusiveness in our work and pay homage to the words from Phitalis Were, a member of the Kenya National Council of People with Disabilities-
“ Socially, morally and intellectually, it is wrong to exclude one in ten of the world’s population from mainstream social, economic and political life. Always remember that the apartheid regime tried to block out the black majority in South Africa, but with devastating consequences. We should learn from history.”
