He further talks about the hardships he went through while going to school with his brothers as many people said he wouldn’t make it in life

At the #ADCSummit2024 Mr Francis Mugwanya a founder of an organization that gives wheelchairs to people who can not afford goves his story where he says he got polio at 3years and his family could not get a wheelchair
He says it became hard for him to go to school but his family especially the brother didn’t give up on him
There is an urgency to address factors like affordability of wheel chairs because most ordinary families can not afford. They only wait for NGOs
