Message from the founder
DISABILITY IS NOT A LIABILITY
It is with great pride and purpose that I lead SHIEpd International in our ongoing mission to empower persons with disabilities across Africa. We are driven by the unwavering belief that disability is not inability, and we are committed to breaking down barriers that prevent individuals from realizing their full potential. Through strategic partnerships, tireless advocacy, and impactful programs, we are reshaping the narrative on disability, ensuring that every person we serve has access to the opportunities they deserve. Our vision is bold, but achievable—an inclusive society where no one is left behind. I encourage you to join us in this vital work. Together, we can create lasting change and build a future where empowerment, dignity, and opportunity are available to all.
