Empowering Rakai’s Disabled Community
Overcoming Barriers for Rakai’s Disabled
People with disabilities in Rakai District frequently encounter significant societal and
physical barriers limiting their potential. Access to essential healthcare, tailored
education, and sustainable livelihood opportunities can be severely restricted. Furthermore,
acquiring necessary assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, crutches, or hearing aids, often
presents an insurmountable financial and logistical challenge for many families.
Beyond the physical and resource limitations, persistent social stigma and misconceptions
surrounding disability can lead to profound isolation and exclusion from vital community
life. This lack of inclusion not only hinders personal development and economic
participation but also deeply affects mental and emotional well-being, denying individuals
their fundamental right to belong and be treated with dignity.
Our Disability Support & Inclusion program directly confronts these multifaceted challenges.
We are committed to breaking down barriers and fostering an environment where every person
with a disability in Rakai can live a fulfilling, independent, and respected life within
their community.
