Effective Networks Are Built Together
We just signed a blueprint that proves it.
We formalized a partnership agreement that sets a clear roadmap for advancing disability inclusion across Kenya through integrated rehabilitation, digital innovation, assistive technology, inclusive education, and sustainable livelihoods.
No single organization can do this alone. At inABLE, we build networks with and within disability communities, not for them. That means:
✓ Organizations of and for persons with disabilities
✓ Government and private sector partners
✓ Community-based and faith-based organizations
✓ Youth with disabilities leading the conversation
Through this blueprint, we align efforts across six counties toward one goal: economic inclusion and dignity for children and youth with disabilities.
Our strategic anchor: Inclusion is not built in silos. It is built together.
When disability leadership is central, when partnerships are accountable to communities, and when systems change is the goal, we move from isolation to integration.
How are you centering disability leadership in your work?

Access to independent learning remains a barrier for visually impaired learners in Kenya.
Today, that gap is narrowing. In partnership with Google, Thika School for the Blind received 125 Chromebooks for learners and 24 laptops for teachers, embedding the technology that enables independent study, research, and collaboration.
For learners, the Chromebooks provide access to screen readers and assistive technologies that support reading, research, collaboration and independent learning. They ensure a seamless transition from junior to senior school, so students build on skills instead of starting over. Those capabilities carry into university, into work, and into lives learners direct themselves.
For teachers, the laptops strengthen lesson preparation, instruction and access to digital teaching resources.
"This support creates a more level playing field for our learners," said Principal Grace Kiarie. "It gives them equitable access to quality education and the opportunities that follow."
As we continue to advance digital inclusion in Kenya's education system, partnerships like this remind us that access to the right tools changes everything.
Our appreciation to Google for this investment.

We want to celebrate you! 🥰🔥🔥
To accelerate access to digital inclusion for Africa’s future, public frameworks are combining with grassroots advocacy and private-sector innovation.
At the Inclusive Africa Conference,it was clear that the host organization inABLE is devoted to driving this movement by training individuals with disabilities and spearheading regional ICT accessibility standards, while the government of Kenya, through the Ministry of ICT and Digital Economy is establishing vital policy foundations and constructing inclusive state regulatory infrastructure.
Concurrently, global tech giants are breaking down continent-wide barriers directly through product engineering and strategic investments. Google is embedding accessibility directly into its product ecosystems to advance digital language inclusion and localized mobile standards, while Microsoft is supporting the ecosystem by strengthening inclusive digital infrastructure and aligning its enterprise software with local regulatory frameworks and launching inclusive AI tools.
Furthering these collective efforts, is the newly launched Assistive Technology Landscape in Africa Report , commisiomed by the Mastercard Foundation, is providing a vital, continent-wide evidence base assessing all 54 African nations. By exposing severe delivery gaps and highlighting local tech manufacturing opportunities, this report is serving as a strategic investment roadmap to ensure future innovations are leaving no one behind.
Accelerating digital accessibility in Africa is indeed a collective effort and we acknowledge every individual and institution continuing to this.
