PERSONS With DISABILITIES DESERVE FAIR TREATMENT.
in most of the countries in Africa, persons with disabilities are attributed with very negative traditional beliefs and taboos. Some belief that having a child with disability is a punishment as a result of some thing done by the parents in the past. Others belief is a bad luck to the society. Some label them as people that possess no value to the society, to them the only thing a PWD can do is to seek for charity. This mentality is false and needs to be eradicated in the minds of people. persons with Disabilities possess lots of capabilities and are equally important as any other person.

In raising awareness that children with disabilities deserved to be loved and treated with respect, dignity and given all the rights they deserved, on the 9th July 2024, FCRPD join remembering Reuel Foundation in a disability awareness walk organized by the Reuel foundation. The even was celebrated with an opening statement by the Sera, the Founder and other dignitaries including National Assembly members followed by a march pas by the three special needs schools in the Gambia with dialogues.
As usual FCRPD offered it’s voluntary and selfless service as human offering assistance to students with disabilities in terms of movement and other needs on the ground.
Thanks to all our volunteers and also the the Remembering Reuel Foundation for organising such an important event.
