Uganda has strong disability laws and policies but implementation is weak. Empowering people with disabilities is essential to make these policies meaningful. Mr. Nkwango Robert ED,Uganda National Association of the Deaf at the 2nd Disability Inclusion Summit #MVoicesUg

It was a successful #IWDP celebration in Mbarara City in partnership with Government, with support from @UNFPAUganda and Partners. Wonderful collaboration! We look forward to future fruitful partnerships as we continue to empower vulnerable people with hearing disabilities. 👏
What an incredible International Week of Deaf People (IWDP) commemorated in Mbarara City, packed with public lectures, community sensitization and a health camp. @UNFPAUganda is proud for recognition for the commitment to inclusive programming for all persons with disabilities.

*COMING SHORTLY* !! Some truly inspiring stories from deaf individuals who use sign language in their day-to-day lives. They often highlight the resilience, creativity & community spirit that emerge when people navigate the world in ways that might seem different to others.
