Status: Finished

Disability is an issue that has been ignored in the development arena yet many people are disabled though some are not aware of it. In africa, Uganda in particular has gone a step ahead to design some policies to adress the needs of the disabled people but still there still a big gap that need to be covered. In nabitende village, EFORDE has a beneficiary who has been incorporated into the project but she needs some assistance towards her movement to the garden and meetings without necessarily being carried on a bicycle which she even doesnt own. Being a woman she has been doubly discriminated because she is both disabled and in addition to that a woman and widow as well. she crawls on the ground. There are other related problem to crawling on the ground especially when it comes to a rainy season yet she doesnt have money to buy soap and clothes for to keep changing. EFORDE take seriously issues of discrimination and wants to bring such people on board such others can be inspired. she can as well speak for others if liberated.
We are requesting friends of Nabitende to enable movements of Sarah Nabirye to be able to reach her garden and share challenges with other women in meetings as the project progresses. She is a hard working woman but she needs a wheel chair which she cant afford to buy herself. This issue has been introduced to the members and out of 220 USdollars, they have contributed 20 dollars. if 20 other friends nabitende contribute 10dollars each to this cause her problem will be cleared.Thanks so much for your generosity.
