Project's focus area: Disability is Not Inability
Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Without programs like BBK, the majority of Kenyan youth with intellectual disabilities would be unable to participate in social activities with non-disabled students. The BBK project will aid in the socialization, independence, productivity and inclusion of students with intellectual disabilities in all aspects of society.

Activities
One-to-one friendships, Buddy Pairs, see each other twice a month taking part in everyday activities such as going out to eat, spending time at each other's homes and participating in sporting events. School Chapters hold 4 organized events a year.
Expected Outcomes
BBK aspires to forever transform the way Kenyans with intellectual disabilities are viewed in schools and the community.
Project Message
My friendship with my buddy has been quite outstanding and a turning point to my whole life. Hardly can a week pass without making contact with each other.
- Bonface Kimeli, Chapter Leader and Student Volunteer
