⚖️ Deprivation of liberty
Numerous children have been kept close in unsanitary and non-spacious facilities. Little to no effort has been put into the prevention of COVID-19 in these facilities, exposing already vulnerable children to health risks.

Many PWDs have been and are very much capable of achieving incredible things. But, they can only do this when equipped with the proper support and accommodations. Meet Brina Maximo, a wonderful example in overcoming her supposed limitations!

The stigma against disability still remains at large. However, many PWDs have been able to overcome the odds and excel in various fields. Adhaya is proud to showcase inspirational people who've made a difference in spite of, and sometimes, because of their disability.

In 2004, Arnel Aba lost his right leg during an accident involving a drunk driver. It was so difficult for him that he felt compelled to commit suicide even tried to step in front of a pickup truck. The driver stopped the car before he hit Arnel and things began to change for him

Adhaya believes that through more extensive support and awareness, everyone can learn to love their eyes while empowering initiatives that prevent vision impairment and reinforce policies that assist people experiencing such. 💛
