Here is how disabled people in Kenya can make money

What challenges do you face in life? Is there anything that always makes you feel disadvantaged? Do you have a weakness that you just can’t shake off? I bet that is the centrality of living with disability. One starts life at a disadvantage, he/she has to do something extra just to be in the same level.

A quick illustration, how much does it take for you moving from your house to town in the city of Nairobi? What may be effortless for you is probably a nightmare for a person in a wheelchair or another using a white cane. And even as the Government and Non-government organizations seek to implement the laws and make life better, I can’t help but wonder what they are doing in terms of disability sports. I may not have experienced disability but out of living with some of them, I have no doubt that persons with disabilities in Kenya are some of the highly talented and high spirited people lacking an opportunity or getting it piece meal. One of these is poor infrastructure and awareness towards disability sports, something I will try to illuminate in this paper.
