A significant fundraising initiative is underway, aiming to collect Shs400 million for the establishment of a comprehensive resource center dedicated to supporting persons with disabilities.
This center is envisioned to be a hub for empowering individuals with disabilities, providing them with the tools, training, and support necessary to achieve self-reliance. Organizers believe that with the right resources, persons with disabilities can significantly contribute to society and lead fulfilling lives.
The fundraising campaign will culminate in a “Run for Inclusion” event, inviting the public to participate and contribute to this noble cause. The event aims to not only raise funds but also to raise awareness about the potential and capabilities of people with disabilities.
Funds raised will be channeled into creating a facility that offers various services, including vocational training, assistive technology, counseling, and support networks. The goal is to create a sustainable environment where individuals with disabilities can thrive and overcome barriers they often face.
Organizers are calling on individuals, corporate bodies, and well-wishers to support this drive, emphasizing the transformative impact the resource center will have on the lives of many. The initiative underscores a commitment to inclusivity and the belief that disability should not be a barrier to opportunity.
