Last week, we had the privilege of supporting Lungowe, a young Deaf woman, as she applied for her disability ID card—a vital step toward accessing government services and opportunities for persons with disabilities in Zambia.
The journey isn’t easy. It requires a medical assessment at the hospital, completing detailed paperwork, and finally submitting everything to the Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD). For someone like Lungowe, who communicates through Sign Language, this process would have been nearly impossible without an interpreter.
That’s where SLCZ stepped in—walking with her every step of the way to ensure her voice was heard. 💙
And the best part? She got her ID! 🎉 Her smile says it all. ✨
