Let’s break down barriers to achieve inclusive, accessible and sustainable development for people with disabilities
Not even the COVID-19 pandemic could hold back Persons with Visual Impairment and Blindness in Burundi from commemorating an important dates on Disability calendar. While White Cane Awareness day is normally celebrated on 15th October, in Burundi, the day was commemorated on October 24,2020 at inclusive school for the blind, visually impaired and deaf of Gihanga Kanuura. The occasion was attended by the Director representing the Ministry of Solidarity, Human Rights and Gender and leaders from other associations.
The occasion was not only a great way to involve local community and educate the public about the blind but also a lobbying opportunity to encourage the local governments to issue a proclamation to remind everyone of the law, and highlight awareness of the presence of blind and visually impaired people in the community.
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities on the 3rd of December, did not go unnoticed. It was also brilliantly commemorated with sports activities and goalball in particular for the visually impaired in the presence of the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Human Rights, Social Affairs and Gender.
