Country Director, Faidess Tembatemba, emphasized the importance of considering individuals with disabilities. She added that providing them with access to education, economic opportunities, and other essential services is crucial.

First Aid Zambia’s donation of waste bins aims to promote a clean and healthy environment, while also raising awareness about the devastating effects of GBV on individuals, families, and communities.

Meanwhile, Foster Muti, Co-Founder of Girls on Empowerment, highlighted the importance of educating individuals who have suffered economic, emotional, and physical abuse. She said people with disabilities often face significant barriers to accessing essential resources.

Ms. Muti appealed to the government to provide support for individuals with disabilities by building accessible facilities. She said disability is not a choice, but rather a natural part of human diversity.
