Support 100 disabled youth with Assistive devices.

On 16^th August 2013, we had the opportunity to be visited by the GlobalGiving field representative for East Africa, Farley Sawyer. It was a rare moment since she had the opportunity to gather fast hand information on how proceeds received from the online donation framework of GlobalGiving create impact within the community that we serve.

Farley sought to understand how the whole program works and our Executive Director was available to provide this information together with the administration officer before she joined ANDY staff in handing over some of the assistive devices purchased through the donations to identified beneficiaries.

On this material day, Farley helped distribute four wheelchairs and two pairs of elbow crutches to persons with disabilities from Kibera. This will help improve the mobility and self-reliance of the beneficiaries.

Being able to move around and perform duties on their own is a key ingredient towards boosting the self-esteem of persons with disabilities that enables them participate in nation building without hindrance.

One parent remarked on how happy she was since her daughter will now be able to walk around with ease using the donated wheelchair.

We thank you all for remaining steadfast in supporting us to carry out this important work in the community. Thank you so much for referring your friends to partner with us in this venture to ensure that the mobility of persons with disabilities is restored through the assistive devices.

We are currently updating our website and will inform you once the new refurbished website is up with more change stories from the people we serve in communities.
