At Light for the World, we believe inclusion isn’t charity it’s a right. Inclusion means creating spaces where persons with disabilities don’t just show up they belong, are heard, respected, & empowered. Disability inclusion is not optional it’s justice. Are you standing for it?
Sustainability isn’t just a goal it’s a responsibility. As external funding dwindles, we must empower our communities to invest in inclusive development and ensure that support for persons with disabilities is locally driven and lasting.
There is a need to think about sustainability as implementing organizations that serve persons with disabilities. The shrinking donor funding should be a concern for everyone, and thus, embracing local funding would be another option.
@SilvesterKasozi @LftWUG commends NUDIPU for supporting persons with disabilities to register customary land in West Nile. Thanks to NUDIPU for being a very collaborative organization to partner with & development partners as well for supporting persons with disabilities.

As we mark #IDPD, Noeline reminds us that inclusion isn’t a favor it’s a right. “Disability inclusion means recognizing our abilities, not our limitations. We all belong.” Let’s amplify voices, remove barriers, and build a world where everyone thrives. #IDPD2025
