Yesterday,CITAM Athi River hosted us alongside our Ability Band. We had the incredible honor of leading worship and music in both services during their Disability Sunday. We are deeply grateful to the church leadership, led by Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Jacob Kimathi, the Challengers Ministry, and the entire congregation. Their intentional commitment to deep inclusion and serving Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and their families truly models what it means to build spaces of dignity and hope.

Many families affected by disability struggle to find a spiritual home. Often, it is not because churches don’t care, but simply because they aren’t sure where to start. We want to partner with your church to build spaces of true dignity and hope. We will walk alongside your leadership team in three practical ways:

1. Train Your Leaders: We provide hands-on, simple training to help your pastors, children's workers, and volunteers feel fully confident in welcoming and serving persons with disabilities.
2. Create Spaces to Belong: We will help you design services where persons with disabilities aren't just sitting in the congregation, but are actively empowered to use their gifts to lead and serve.
3. Support the Whole Family: Life with a disability can be isolating. We help your church become a safe, supportive family where parents and caregivers are deeply known, loved, and spiritually fed.

Is your company, business, hospital, Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Community-Based Organization (CBO), or church/ faith institution ready to comply with the Kenyan Sign Language Act and serve Persons with Disabilities who are deaf?

Did you know about the new Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) Bill? Last month, the Kenyan Sign Language Bill was passed. This landmark law transitions Kenyan Sign Language (KSL) from a basic disability right into a mainstream national empowerment tool, requiring KSL to be actively taught and integrated across all public and private sectors.

In the photos below, our Kenyan Sign Language interpreter, Lewis Wachiya, is teaching basic KSL to our incoming volunteers during our last onboarding session. At Africa Ability Trust, we believe that true inclusivity means taking the time to equip our teams so we can break down everyday communication barriers.

Reach out to us today to learn how we can partner to professionally train your team, implement compliant communication systems, and build spaces of true belonging and institutional inclusion.

Take a behind-the-scenes look at the Ability Band practicing at the Africa Ability Trust center. In this vide we are singing an original song by Reuben Kigame called Bwana Ni Mchungaji Wangu (Psalm 23). Edwin Omulama is playing the piano, while June, Speedix, Paul, Antony, Beryl, and Stanclaus sing together in harmony.

The Ability Band consists of talented musicians and vocalists with disabilities. Our diverse team features eight visually impaired members, one member with vitiligo, one amputee, and one wheelchair user. We are creating awareness by showing exactly what persons with disabilities can achieve when given the platform.
