Join us in commemorating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD) on December 4, 2023, as we celebrate the contributions and achievements of persons with disabilities in Ghana.

This year’s theme, “United in action to rescue and achieve the SDGs for, with, and by persons with disabilities,” emphasizes the importance of inclusion and collaboration in creating a more equitable and accessible society for all.

Across Ghana’s 16 regions, we’ll host events to raise awareness, promote understanding, and champion the rights of persons with disabilities. Stay tuned for more details on these exciting initiatives!

Together, we can build a Ghana where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential.

More details coming soon!
