Theme: Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress
Today, we join the world in reaffirming a simple truth: societies only progress when everyone can participate fully and without barriers.
At the Organisation for Inclusion and Empowerment (OFIE), we are committed to building a Ghana where persons with disabilities are not just included, but valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. We work towards this by:
🔹 Creating awareness to challenge stigma and promote disability rights
🔹 Providing IT skills and robotics training to learners with disabilities
🔹 Strengthening the capacity of teachers to deliver inclusive education
🔹 Training parents and caregivers to better support persons with disabilities at home and in their communities
On this International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we are reminded of the importance of recognising the worth of every individual and breaking down barriers that limit fundamental rights. We call on schools, families, leaders, young people, activists, policymakers, governments, and local and international organisations to join us in building a more equitable and inclusive world—one where every person, regardless of ability, can fully contribute to social progress.
Inclusion is not charity. It’s justice. It’s progress. It’s our shared responsibility.
