Last week, starting on the 25th, Umoja People with Disabilities (UPD) had the privilege of hosting representatives from DAPP, WAG, and leaders from the District Council.

The visit provided an opportunity for DAPP and WAG to learn more about the work being carried out by UPD, assess the impact of its activities, and identify areas where support can be provided to further strengthen the organization.

This visit follows a series of capacity-building trainings organized by DAPP and
WAG, in which UPD actively participated. It also reflects the commitment of both organizations to maintaining a strong partnership and fostering continued collaboration with Umoja People with Disabilities.

We sincerely appreciate the visit, the valuable discussions, and the shared commitment to empowering persons with disabilities and building stronger, more inclusive communities.

These sessions provided a valuable opportunity to share ideas, strengthen collaboration, and build a common vision for empowering young athletes and enhancing sports development within our communities.
