At Kabete National Polytechnic, a wave of hope and inclusion swept through the institution as it hosted International Paralympics Day in collaboration with Lions SightFirst Eye Hospital and Special Olympics Kenya.
The event, held on February 12, 2025, was more than a celebration-it was a lifeline for children with intellectual disabilities, offering them access to critical health screenings and a platform for recognition.
For many children with intellectual disabilities, access to specialised healthcare remains a challenge.
Recognising this, Kabete National Polytechnic established the Special Intellectually Challenged Lab, where experts conducted developmental and behavioural tests to assess their well-being.
