Training for people with disabilities

“The vocational skills training has been a blessing to me.” – Favour, Nigeria

A better world needs all of us. We all have gifts to share. This gift can help run specialised courses for people with disabilities to learn professional skills and build their own futures, as well as helping them come together to learn techniques to advocate for themselves and their rights.

Favour, a student from Nigeria, is a person with albinism which means she doesn’t produce enough melanin – the pigment that colours skin. The condition can also cause problems with vision. Due to widespread misconceptions, people with albinism often face prejudice and discrimination, which can create significant barriers in education and the workplace. Our partners supported Favour’s enrolment in a baking and catering course, equipping her with the skills to launch her own business.

“The vocational skills training has been a blessing to me. I have learned how to bake cakes, and as a student, this is now helping me earn some income to meet my basic needs in school.”
