Uganda: Breaking the Silence on Disability
Disability in Uganda is largely associated with witchcraft and as a result PWDS are stigmatized and discriminated in the social network of society.

These stories will be captured in newsletters and broadcasted.

Pakistan: Education and skills for Disabled Children
We can well imagine the feelings and worries of the family with a disabled child. We can fully realize the hard work that a normal and educated man has to put in to survive in our society. It is not difficult to imagine the fate of disabled, deaf and dumb or blind children in such society. It is a bitter fact that a time also comes when these disabled children become a burden on their parents, brothers & sisters.
