Africas finest: First Comment,,,,,First play... African ting dis! Phat -D Radio Mafia a.k.a Omagor Joseph. In the News: Reports indicate that about 20% of the world’s population are people living with different forms of disability. Like everyone else, these people have the same right to food, healthcare, shelter, education as well as being able to learn skills to earn themselves an income. For the people with disabilities (PWDs), learning various kinds of skills can help them be included more easily in their respective communities than would perhaps have otherwise been without such acquired abilities. In this day and age, many Ugandan parents who have disabled children still hide them behind closed doors – away from the public eye – because they consider them to be curses. And by locking them away, they inevitably refuse to send them to school. This denial of an education leaves such children vulnerable to the potentially brutal realities of life, hence plunging them into a miserable life where they miss out on employment, general services like health care et cetera.
