Vision
A society where persons with disabilities fully enjoy their rights
Power in My Hands: ICT Powering Disability Advocacy
This is our core advocacy intervention. The northern region is vast and sparsely populated. This inhibits programming e.g engagement meetings. Under this, we leverage on technology to educate persons with disabilities.
Our current research focus is to develop engagement tools and platform leverage on innovations such as social media platforms, Apps, Industry 4.0 such Internet of Things to power advocacy especially among young people with disabilities in our region. This is the only way to reach a vast area with multiple needs.
Access is a Right
Access to information is a right guaranteed in the Constitution of Kenya. Internet access, too, is a human rights according to the United Nations. We have been advocating for provision of internet access in our region as an enabler of service provision. We have also been advocating for government and county government agencies as well as other players in our area to provide accessible technologies that will ensure persons with disabilities especially in pastoralist regions get digital services. It, therefore, means their ability to access information from government platforms e.g websites, E – Citizen, information in easy to read formats, among others.
