RESOURCE: Disability Kenya Web Site
People with disabilities in Kenya and other interested individuals can turn to an on-line web site, Disability Kenya, to learn more about life for disabled people in Kenya.
At Disability Kenya, you can find news, opinion pieces and feature articles, and sometimes information about resources. Here are just a few examples:
If you are currently working on a funding proposal and aren’t sure how to write one, you can consult a model at
http://www.disabilitykenya.org/codeke%20projects.htm
The proposal at the above link successfully obtained grants to support a project using computers to help deaf students overcome barriers in education and communication. That project helped lead to the Disability Kenya web site.
The health page at Disability Kenya has links to information about HIV/AIDS in Kenya, projects targeted at the Deaf community there, and other health-related information (e.g., rape, violence toward disabled children, accessibility issues at a local hospital, etc.).
The Inclusion page at Disability Kenya, and particularly the Projects page, both share information about projects targeted at people with disabilities in Kenya.
Learn about disability-related laws in Kenya, and other policy issues and news, at the Disability Kenya Policy Page.
Or learn about issues related to the education of disabled Kenyan children at the Education page.
Start exploring Disability Kenya at:

Disability Kenya is updated regularly, so people with a strong interest may wish to check their site periodically for new materials.
We Can Do was first alerted to Disability Kenya some months ago when someone involved with their web site tried to contact me. My apologies for taking so long to put up a post related to it. I was also reminded about this web site more recently when I saw a link to it from the AskSource.info web site, which has a very large and rapidly growing data base of resources and links related to people with disabilities in developing countries, as well as resources related to health issues in general.
Learn how to receive an email alert when new material is posted at We Can Do (wecando.wordpress.com).
Also at We Can Do: catch up with the news; explore resources, toolkits, or funding and fellowship opportunities that might be helpful for your organization; find research, reports, papers, or statistics; or look up conferences, events, call for papers, or education/training opportunities.
