Hope for People with Disability in Mzuzu -HOPDAM has bemoaned the increasing tendency of hiding children with disability in homes by some parents and guardians in the City.

HOPDAM Executive Director, Waitha Gondwe observed that many children with special needs are being denied an opportunity to access education as a result of stigma and discrimination.

Speaking during a day-long disability bylaws sensitization meeting at Kazando and Mchengautaba clusters in Mzuzu, Gondwe said it high time parents realized that children with disability have potential to perform well in schools and become productive citizen of this nation in future.

Muthembo Mother Care Group member Agnes Honde and Florence Phiri representing Village Headman Mthobvu hailed HOPDAM for developing the bylaws and pledged to popularize them to change the current status-quo.

HOPDAM is carrying out the initiative in Mzuzu with financial support from a South African based organization known as Hlanganisa.

In a bid to fostering inclusiveness, Hope for Persons with Disabilities in Mzuzu (HOPDAM) has pledged to continue raising awareness among various stakeholders about the disability bylaws instituted by the organization.

This has been said on the sidelines of a day-long stakeholder sensitisation meeting held on Thursday in Mzilawaingwe and Masasa areas in Mzuzu City.

Programs Officer Gomezgani Nkhoma called for collaboration in safeguarding and promoting the rights of individuals with disabilities.

He also lamented that many people with disabilities are unable to access essential social services due to discrimination.

In this regard, he has expressed hope that the new disability bylaws will not only bridge the existing knowledge gap but also promote a sense of inclusion and bring about positive change.

Meanwhile, Mzuzu Police Community Policing Coordinator Assistant Superintendent Adson Mapanda has affirmed the police's dedication to protecting the rights of individuals with disabilities in the city.
