Disability Inclusion -Sierra Leone recently wrote a letter to the Permanent Secretary to express our deep concerns about the construction of the SDA school in Moyamba. The structure, as it stood, was not accessible to children with disabilities. There was no ramp at the entrance, and the doorway was too narrow for wheelchair users and even those using crutches.

Today, we are pleased to report significant progress. The school has begun installing ramps at doorways and taking other steps to ensure accessibility. Our concerns were taken seriously, and meaningful action is now being implemented. This is a step in the right direction and a clear demonstration of what can be achieved when we raise our voices in a constructive and respectful manner.

As advocates for persons with disabilities, especially children in schools, we will always raise the alarm when things are not in our favour. But we believe in doing so through constructive engagement not through demonstrations laced with insults, but through dialogue, collaboration, and advocacy.

This is what inclusion looks like in action.

We wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Permanent Secretary, the school management, education stakeholders, and everyone involved in making this change happen. Your responsiveness and commitment to inclusive education are deeply appreciated.

Thank you for listening, thank you for acting, and thank you for standing with children with disabilities.

We are organizing a Training of Trainers (ToT) program focused on life skills for youths with disabilities. The selected trainers will, in turn, train other youths with various abilities in their communities.

These life skills sessions will be conducted monthly in designated safe spaces where youths with different abilities will gather to discuss life skills and other issues affecting them.

This initiative aims to empower youths with disabilities by equipping them with essential life skills and creating a supportive environment for continuous learning and discussion.

Today, with the generous support of the Bo District Council, SLAPWA distributed school materials and physical cash to children living with albinism and the girl who topped the NPSE in the south. This initiative aims to provide these children with the necessary resources and financial support to ensure they remain in school, focus on their studies, and build confidence through access to essential materials.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the Bo District Council Chairman, his executives, and all the management and staff of the council for their invaluable support. This assistance will significantly impact the lives of the children with albinism, enabling them to thrive in their educational journey.

We pledge to continue our collaboration with the Bo District Council to support and empower more children with albinism to stay in school and succeed. Thank you once again for your unwavering support and dedication to this cause.
