Dear Supporters,
Greetings from Nairobi, at Action Network for the Disabled, we are all fine and continuing with our work in communities towards the empowerment of young people with disabilities. It is my pleasure to inform you that, lately we have embarked on a path that will enable us bring internet and its vast opportunities closer to young disabled people living in the urban slums.
We have just established an internet cafe within our offices with about ten computers and through your donations, we were able to make two of the computers out of ten to be accessible by our blind colleagues in their efforts to use the internet.
You know that in this 21st century, the internet is playing a revolutionary role yet many people have not been in a position to access it due to various challenges.
Our organization will be to play a small part by facilitating access to information, communication and technology for persons with disabilities. Having installed a Jos Software in two computers has made it possible for any blind person who wishes to access the internet for various reasons to be able to do so at our center. I want to thank you for continued trust in our project giving us the energy to reach more persons with disabilities through our project.
I will keep you updated of how the center continues to impact persons with disabilities in their lives especially for those who will be utilizing the computers installed with Jos software ( a software that enables the blind to access any information through a computer including on the internet).
I look forward to further ideas on how we can ensure we get more donations through the Global Giving portal to continue impacting our constituents more positively.
Thank you so much for investing in the future of young disabled people who are in need.
