Today serves as a reminder to society that disability doesn't discriminate, and it's often society that fails to see the abilities of individuals with special needs. We're all reminded that "๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ถ๐น๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ in the ๐บ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด, ๐ฎ๐ณ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ผ๐ผ๐ป, ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ถ๐ป๐ด," emphasizing the importance of building a positive consciousness around disability. This awareness is crucial for achieving social progression.
As a society, we must recognize the need to create an inclusive environment that supports individuals with disabilities. This includes:
- Families
- Schools
- Workplaces
- Churches
- Communities
Let's build a society that sees beyond disabilities and empowers individuals to thrive

It was an eye saw at the just ended maiden "๐ฆ๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฒ๐" program 2025. Talk of the energyโก, numbers, Speakers, Speeches and most importantly Disability Lens presence , and the lasting impact.
Two special guests who joined us for this occasion were: Augustina Kpordzro and Carruthers Tetteh Esq. Respectively, ๐๐๐ด๐๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ'๐ story inspired the students stressing on her resilience, determination and perseverance over the past decade. And Mr. ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐๐พ. who is the first VIP Lawyer and Law Lecturer at the University of Cape Coast and an Amy Awardee added his voice, and importantly his story from disability to celebrated success.
As part of Disability Lens participation in this maiden program, presented:
1. A painting (artwork) that simplified our Clarion call for digital inclusion for Persons with Disabilities across the country in our schools, workplaces, homes and communities.
2. A white cane to a confident VIP who didn't own a person whitecane as a basic tool for his inclusion.
3. Nine 9โฃ Disability Lens branded draw string bags to the 9 VIPs who received the laptops.
Our Founder made a powerful presentation on : ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฅ๐ผ๐น๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ฝ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐บ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐๐

During his presentation, he asked both students and guest present some thought provoking questions which helped set the tone for the conversation. So let share our thoughts in the comments:
โ๐ปWhat does mentorship mean to you?
โ๐ปWhat is your testimony about mentorship?
โ๐ปHow has mentorship evolved over time, and what challenges need to be addressed?

From the urban to the rural, the concept of 'good' has a universal meaning, and people (whether adults or children) respond to it with the same emotions. That was the feeling of the pupils of Fort Amsterdam MA School at Ankaful in the Central Region when Disability Lens partnered with of Hope to support the children with educational materials for a brighter tomorrow.
Worth mentioning was how the Founder and his Representative strategically donated branded drawstring bags to the Class 3 pupils.
๐ข๐ป๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ธ ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ ๐ฏ?
We chose Class 3, like Class 6, Junior High 3, and Senior High 3, because these levels are transitional classes. These are classes that mark a significant transition in a student's educational journey, often characterized by:
๐A shift in curriculum complexity and depth
๐Increased emphasis on foundational skills and knowledge
๐Preparation for more advanced levels of education
๐Development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills
๐Enhanced student autonomy and responsibility
According to UNESCO, "1 in 5 children worldwide will not complete primary school, and 617 million youth lack basic mathematics and literacy skills." Initiatives like ours aim to bridge this gap and support students in their educational journey.
By supporting students in transitional classes, we can empower them to succeed in their future endeavors.

NGOs are not saviors, all-knowing, nor do they have all it takes to roll out projects or interventions by themselves. Instead, we work with partners, philanthropists, and most importantly, stakeholders who help give life to the African proverb:
"๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ผ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐, ๐ด๐ผ ๐ฎ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ. ๐๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ด๐ผ ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฟ, ๐ด๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐ด๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ."
On this premise, I wish to acknowledge the following stakeholders who made it possible for us at Disability Lens to partner with ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐บ to make an impact (inclusive reading) where it is needed:

As we celebrate literacy and inclusive education, Disability Lens reaffirms our commitment to promoting reading practices that cater to diverse learning needs. Inclusive reading isn't just about decoding words; it's about understanding, interpreting, and applying meaning by all( not by a privilege few or supposedly normal group).
At Disability Lens, we believe every child deserves access to reading materials and strategies tailored to their unique learning style/ability. Our work focuses on advocating for:
๐๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐๐๐ฟ๐๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Tailoring teaching methods to meet individual needs. This helps teachers meet the learning needs of learners given their abilities and styles(visuals, auditory or tactile)
๐๐ป๐ฐ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ถ๐๐ฎ๐น ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐: Leveraging technology to enhance reading experiences. This stresses the need for the use of technology that assist PWDs learn without too much hinderance. For example: Braille sheets, tactile sheets, recorders, hearing aids etc
๐๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐: Ensuring reading materials are usable by everyone regardless of their state of ability.
๐ฃ๐ผ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฃ๐ช๐๐: The policies we know of, how well have they been practicalize or operationalize for the benefit and use of the PWDs.
Our recent Inclusive Reading Festival in Twifo Hemang Lower Denkyira, Central Region, Ghana, showcased the impact of inclusive reading practices. We trained 30 teachers on differentiated teaching methods, empowering them to support students with disabilities.

As an organization, we recognize that we can't do it alone. As a result, we partner with others, raise awareness, and importantly, we share knowledge as a way to remind key stakeholders of our collective mission. In our recent celebration of International Literacy Day, we partnered with The Reading Factory to organize an Inclusive Reading Festival in Twifo Hemang Lower Denkyira of the Central Region of Ghana, where ten (10) schools participated (bringing together 100 participants, 30 of whom were Persons with Disabilities).
