The Best Support for Disability Work Is *with* the Disability Community

On the African continent, infrustructural inadequacies make mobility a challenge — for everybody, and that much more so for people with physical disabilities. The lack of affordable well-constructed assistive devices further heightens this problem, and well-intentioned donations from abroad prove not very helpful because they were not originally designed for their destination. This is where organizations like Kyaro Assistive Tech come in: based in Arusha, Tanzania, they are a prime example of a local solution to a local problem. Working with individuals and organizations like Songambele Initiative Organisation, Kyaro creates customized devices for people with disabilities: made specifically for the user, comfortable, and providing dignity through the resultant freedom.
