We look back at our engagement with Rev. Muhoro Sec. School for the Deaf-Nyeri, by our member @FedwenKenya, supported by the Ford Foundation. Hearing the feedback from parents and teachers reminds us why advocacy matters—creating inclusive spaces for learners with disabilities💙
With a grant under the Meaningful Engagement-Transformative Action #META project by @FemnetProg and @SDGsKenyaForum,we launched a green transition initiative in Korogocho through our member,@DINA_Kenya1.This will promote participation of women with disabilities in climate action.
Under the Ford Foundation grant,through our member @FedwenKenya,we continue to strengthen family-teacher engagement at Rev. Muhoro Sec. School for the Deaf in Nyeri.These dialogues are building supportive networks for parents and educators to support students with disabilities📚.
