Every Child Deserves a Place in the Classroom!

Today, the Kanawa Educational Foundation for the Disabled (KEFD) officially launched its inclusive education campaign, "One Private School, One Child with Disability," in Kano State.

Teachers from Wonderful Academy and Rahama Academy, Sabuwar Gandu became our first Inclusive Education Champions after receiving practical training on inclusive teaching strategies.

Through this initiative, KEFD is working to:
✅ Increase access to education for children with disabilities.
✅ Support private schools to become inclusive.
✅ Strengthen the implementation of the Kano State Inclusive Education Policy.
✅ Build teachers' capacity to create inclusive learning environments.

This initiative contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), while advancing UNCRPD Articles 7 (Children with Disabilities), 9 (Accessibility), and 24 (Inclusive Education).

Together, we can build a Kano where no child is left behind. Facilitated by Dr. Nasir Rishi.

Learning, Reflection, and the Future of Inclusive Economic Empowerment.

KANAWA Educational Foundation for the Disabled was honored to participate in the SABI WOMAN Project Learning Review Meeting held at Lake Greenfield Hotel, Abuja, alongside key stakeholders, partners and beneficiaries.

The event, convened through Sightsavers, brought together representatives from KANAWA Educational Foundation for the Disabled, Project Enable Africa, the Industrial Training Fund (ITF), GBF, beneficiaries from Kano and Lagos States, and other critical stakeholders to reflect on the project's achievements, lessons learned, challenges, and opportunities for sustaining its impact.

The Learning Review provided a valuable platform to share experiences, celebrate successes, and strengthen collaboration towards improving economic empowerment and inclusion for women with disabilities. The insights generated will help shape future interventions that are more responsive, sustainable, and impactful.

We sincerely appreciate Sightsavers, with support from UNICEF and funding from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), for their commitment to advancing the rights and economic inclusion of women with disabilities in Nigeria.

Together, we continue to build a more inclusive society where women with disabilities can thrive, lead, and contribute meaningfully to national development.

As part of the follow-up activities under the SABI WOMAN Project, 50 women with disabilities who had previously participated in entrepreneurship training were selected for a two-day Advanced Business Training. The training was designed to strengthen their entrepreneurial capacity by providing advanced knowledge and practical skills in business management, financial literacy, record keeping, customer relations, marketing strategies, business growth, and sustainability. The participants enhanced their understanding of how to manage and expand their enterprises, improve profitability, and build resilient businesses that can contribute to their economic empowerment and long-term financial independence.

Outcome: The training improved participants' business management competencies, increased their confidence as entrepreneurs, and equipped them with practical tools to strengthen and grow their existing businesses.

Advancing Disability-Inclusive Financial Services in Nigeria

Kanawa Educational Foundation for the Disabled (KEFD) was honored to participate in the Dissemination of Findings from the Research on Barriers to Accessing Financial Inclusion Services for Persons with Disabilities, held on 1st–2nd June 2026 at the Movenpick Hotel, Ikoyi, Lagos.

The event, organized by Sightsavers in collaboration with OPD partners and key stakeholders in the financial sector, brought together representatives from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Disability and Equal Opportunity Matters, the National Commission for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), LASODA, GTBank, Fidelity Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, CrediCorp, EFINA, UNICEF, and other development partners.

A major highlight of the event was the presentation of research findings on barriers faced by persons with disabilities in accessing financial services in Kano and Lagos States. The findings, presented by financial inclusion expert Mrs. Ucha, sparked robust discussions and generated valuable recommendations aimed at strengthening disability-inclusive financial systems across Nigeria.

Key discussions focused on:
✅ Accessible and inclusive banking services
✅ Digital and financial accessibility
✅ Reliable disability data for planning and policy-making
✅ Inclusive employment and entrepreneurship opportunities
✅ Strategic partnerships to advance financial inclusion for persons with disabilities

KEFD was fully represented throughout the two-day engagement and remains committed to advocating for equal access to financial services, economic empowerment, and the full inclusion of persons with disabilities in Nigeria's development agenda.

Together, we can build a financial system that leaves no one behind.

We recently had a tracer study meeting on the SABI WOMAN Project, supported by UNICEF, with key partners — Sightsavers and TechnoServe — in attendance.

It was a good moment to reflect on the journey so far, hear directly about the impact on beneficiaries, and discuss how we can improve and do more.

At Kanawa Educational Foundation for the Disabled, we remain committed to empowering women, especially those with disabilities, to build sustainable livelihoods and live with dignity.

Grateful to all partners for the collaboration and continued support. The work continues 💪

Some photos of the last Dialogue session brought together parents of girls with disabilities, their teachers, government representatives, community leaders, and life skills coaches.

The conversation focused on the realities facing adolescent girls with disabilities, the importance of inclusive education, and creating safe spaces for their growth and development. It was inspiring to see different voices come together, share experiences, and commit to stronger support for these girls.

This engagement is part of the SABI WOMAN Project, implemented by Kanawa Educational Foundation for the Disabled in partnership with Sightsavers and UNICEF.

Together, we are building a more inclusive future where every girl has the opportunity to learn and grow.

With a heavy heart, KEFD mourns the passing of Prof. Kabiru Dandago of the Department of Accounting, Bayero University Kano.

Prof. Dandago was not only a respected academic but also a compassionate supporter of inclusion and humanity. Through his guidance and encouragement, he played a role in shaping the vision of the Kanawa Educational Foundation for the Disabled. He also personally supported the education of several persons with disabilities and worked tirelessly toward making the Kano State Disability Law a reality.

His kindness, wisdom, and commitment to justice for vulnerable members of society will always be remembered.

On behalf of the Kanawa Educational Foundation for the Disabled, I extend our deepest condolences to his family, colleagues, students, and the entire BUK community.

May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus.
