Light For The World Uganda

Development partners hold a unique and vital role in turning inclusive policy into everyday reality. By investing in scalable programs, funding essential assistive technologies, and backing community-led initiatives, we bridge the crucial gap between advocacy and execution.

“You cannot have dignified work without an accessible workplace. This goes far beyond physical infrastructure like ramps and wide doorways; it encompasses digital and environmental accessibility.”- Prosper Muhumuza Commissioner in charge of Disabilities @Mglsd_UG #Rehab4all

“We often talk about inclusion, but inclusion without tools is just a concept. Assistive technology shouldn't be a privilege reserved for the few who can afford it, it should be an accessible right”- Denish Komakech #Rehabilitation4all

Disability prevalence remains high in Uganda, with the most commonly observed disability being loss of limbs at 35.5%, followed by spinal injuries at 22.3%, hearing impairments at 15.1%, and visual difficulties at 6.7%. -Kintu Edmund, Orthopaedic Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology Consultant - @MinofHealthUG #RehabilitationForAll @NUDIPU

“There was a time I wondered how I'd ever hug my wife. Today, I realize I embrace her with my very soul. Life comes down to a choice: finding contentment in what you possess, or remaining bitter about what you lack.”-@nickvujicic

To every person living with a disability, never allow the world to convince you that your condition limits your purpose. Your value is not measured by what you lack, but by the strength, resilience, creativity, and courage you carry every single day. Some of the most impactful people in history faced limitations, rejection, and doubt, yet they still changed the world because they refused to give up on themselves. #BeyondTheCanvas #ReachAHandAfrica #MyLimitlessStory

#ChildEyeHealth "Success isn't just about the number of surgeries we do; it’s about the lives reclaimed once those bandages come off. A single surgery can entirely rewrite a child's trajectory." - Dr. Grace Ssali Read about the Hoima #EyeHealthCamp: rb.gy/szno80

Employers hiring persons with disabilities is not a favor. It’s a business decision. If the person qualifies & has the skills, give them the opportunity. Invest in accessible software & tools so that everyone especially the blind, can perform at their best- @silkazo @LftWUG.

I'm glad to be in the attendance of this amazing and beneficial event🫡

In his opening remarks @silkazo emphasized that employing people with disabilities isn't a favor, it’s a competitive advantage. True inclusion isn't about being nice it’s about being smart enough to value talent in every form. #TalentWithoutLimit
