Can you take a wild guess at how much a prosthetic leg or arm costs? In fact, a single prosthetic limb can cost hundreds of thousands of shillings an amount that, for many families, represents a lifetime of savings. enableme.ke/en/article/wha… #EconomicJustice #Inclusion UDPK

We condemn recent utterances by a Kenyan Member of Parliament humiliating a person with a disability and stating that people with disabilities should not be employed by the police force. This is ableism and it is harmful. Read our statement on this link: advocacynetwork.blogspot.com/2025/09/it-is-…
