“The organisation advocates for the people with disability in our community. It is our responsibility to create awareness that people with disabilities are also people. It was easy for me to embarked on charity work because of my experience working with disability people.

God had purpose with them when he created them and those families with people with disabilities must to feel ashamed,” she concluded.
