Socio- economic barriers have been cited as some of the impediments limiting the ability of persons with disabilities (PWDs) from achieving their goals in life.
National Fund for The Disabled of Kenya (NFDK) chairperson Professor Margaret Kamar says more initiatives need to be put in place to ensure such persons are empowered to enable them to attain their full potential in life.
Professor Kamar said they are working hand in hand with other stakeholders in providing practical solutions that can assist PWDs not only become self-reliant but also people who can contribute to the development of the country.
Such initiatives include provision of support services to PWDs through availing of resources and promoting awareness and advocacy.
