Empowerment Of Disability & Social Integration
Empowerment for Disability and Social Integration Sierra Leone is an initiative of passionate disabled persons that strive for the protection of the basic human rights of disabled people and their families. Its membership is made up of disabled children, women and men as well as volunteers social workers who function as a formidable team to show case their ability and that not all is lost. The Empowerment for Disability and Social Integration based on its identified gaps of discrimination and disregard to disability issues, initiated the idea to serve as a platform to show case their ability to serve in various capacities as well as do reorientation with stakeholders, the disabled themselves and their families that they have the capacity like others to pursue their life dreams. Moreover, this in essence will allow people to see their ability not their inability as they strive to improve on their general well-being. This will also ensure for behavioural and attitudinal change of the wider public about being disabled.
