Parents and guardians have been urged to love and care for persons and children living with disabilities for them to live a fulfilling life.

‘‘Parents and guardians kindly accept these children the way they are, love, embrace them and take care of them so that they can have reason to live well like other persons and stigma will end," said Sylvia Moraa Mochabo, Executive director of Andy Speaks For Special Needs Persons Africa.
