📢 Today, @NUDIPU convened a Directors’ Forum bringing together OPD leaders to strengthen advocacy for the rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities in Uganda. Discussions focused on policy priorities, collaboration, and building a stronger disability movement.
A learner with albinism now learns with confidence after receiving photochromic glasses, sunscreen, a long-sleeved school uniform, and a wide-brimmed hat through the support of our partner Advantage Africa.
This is what advocacy looks like removing barriers and changing lives.

Israel Galabusi, a Senior Six candidate at Busoga College Mwiri, has urged the Uganda National Examination Board (UNEB) and schools to provide specialized support for learners with albinism.
Speaking on the challenges faced by visually impaired students, Galabusi highlighted that most learners with albinism suffer from sight complications. He noted that without proper sitting arrangements and specialized learning equipment, excelling in national exams and daily classes remains a steep hurdle.
Galabusi is calling for inclusive policies to ensure these students get an equal chance to succeed.

Proudly my skin. Proudly all skin tones.
Today on #AlbinismAwarenessDay, @UNADeaf stands with the albinism community.
Skin color is not a barrier. Stigma is.
We commit to inclusion, protection, and equal opportunity for all.

I am one of the 2.5 billion people worldwide who need one or more assistive products. Without my glasses, I miss details that most people take for granted. I am fortunate to have access to regular eye care and to be able to replace my glasses when needed.
But for millions of people around the world, the assistive technology they need is simply out of reach.
On this #WorldATDay, I urge ALL countries to prioritise investment in making assistive technology accessible and affordable for everyone. When people have access to the tools they need, their quality of life and productivity can improve dramatically.
Access to assistive technology is not a luxury. This is why I am happy to be part of #MeAndMyAT movement. Join us!
