We are pleased to announce the successful completion of Phase 3 of our PAD4LWD Initiative, marking yet another significant stride towards our mission of empowerment and inclusivity. On the 10th of June 2024, our dedicated team orchestrated a meaningful donation drive at Good Samaritan Home for the Intellectually Challenged located at Adidome.

Led by our dedicated Volta Regional Representative, Mr. Bright Atsu Amemate, along with the unwavering support of his friends, this initiative exemplifies the power of collective action and consideration. Together, they epitomize the spirit of community engagement and service, embodying our core values of empathy, dignity, and empowerment.

The donation drive at Good Samaritan Home highlights our commitment to extending support and care to individuals with intellectual challenges. Through the provision of essential hygiene products, we aim to not only meet a fundamental need but also foster a culture of positivity, dignity, and inclusion within the community.

At the heart of our PAD4LWD Initiative lies a profound belief that every individual, regardless of ability, deserves access to the resources and support necessary to live a life of dignity and fulfillment. By championing this cause, we challenge stereotypes and stigmatization, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable society.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Bright Atsu Amemate and his dedicated team of volunteers for their tireless efforts in organizing and executing this impactful initiative. Their commitment to serving others serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration, igniting positive change and transformation within our communities.

As we celebrate the successful completion of Phase 3, we reaffirm our pledge to continue advocating for the rights and dignity of individuals with disabilities. Together, let us embrace the ethos of #beperiodpositive, recognizing that disability is not a limitation but an opportunity for greater understanding, compassion, and solidarity.

Join us in spreading the message of disability not inability and disability awareness as we strive to create a world where every individual is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.

We are thrilled to announce that Phase 2 of DNI Foundation’s PAD FOR LADIES WITH DISABILITIES (PAD4LWD) Initiative unfolded with resounding success on the 8th of June 2024, at the esteemed Accra Rehabilitation Center. This significant milestone marks another step forward in our ongoing commitment to supporting and improving good menstrual hygiene among ladies with disabilities.

At the heart of the PAD4LWD Initiative lies a profound mission: to ensure that every extraordinary young lady living with disability within our community has unfettered access to essential hygiene products. Our initiative not only aims to address a critical need but also endeavors to cultivate a culture of health, dignity, and empowerment among women with disabilities.

By providing access to vital hygiene products, we are not just meeting a necessity, we are igniting a transformative journey towards holistic wellbeing and self-empowerment. Through our concerted efforts, we strive to break down barriers and create a world where every woman, regardless of ability, can thrive with confidence and dignity.

The success of Phase 2 stands as a testament to the dedication and collaborative spirit of our team, partners, and supporters. As we reflect on this achievement, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have contributed to the PAD4LWD Initiative. Your unwavering support fuels our determination to continue advancing our mission and creating lasting impact in the lives of women with disabilities.

Join us as we celebrate this milestone and reaffirm our commitment to empowering ladies through inclusion, one PAD at a time.

The day is dedicated to promoting the rights and wellbeing of persons with disabilities at every level of society and development, and to raise awareness of the challenges of persons with disabilities in all aspects of physical, political, social, economic and cultural life.

We are excited to share the inspiring story of our recent initiative, which took place on 11/07/2020 in Barekese, located within the Atwima Nwabiagya District of the Ashanti Region, Ghana. In alignment with our core mission of empowering people with disabilities to achieve self-dependence, DNI Foundation proudly presented a fully stocked container shop, valued at GH₵9,000, to Kwabena, a remarkable disabled teenager.

Background: Kwabena’s journey is one marked by resilience, determination, and the unwavering spirit of hope. Despite facing challenges associated with his disability, Kwabena refused to be defined by limitations. His dream of independence and self-sufficiency served as the driving force behind our decision to support him in realizing his aspirations to become a business owner.

Impact and Transformation: The impact of this initiative extends far beyond the material value of the container shop. For Kwabena, it represents a newfound sense of empowerment and independence. With the resources at his disposal, he now can pursue his entrepreneurial dreams, contribute to his community, and build a brighter future for himself and his loved ones.

Community Engagement and Support: The success of this initiative would not have been possible without the unwavering support and collaboration of the local community. From rallying behind Kwabena to offering the parcel of land the container shop was built on and ensuring work proceeded smoothly without any disruptions from local folks, the community played an integral role in ensuring the success of this endeavor.

Looking Ahead: As we reflect on the impact of this project, we are reminded of the transformative power of empowerment and the boundless potential that lies within everyone. Moving forward, DNI Foundation remains committed to our mission of creating inclusive opportunities and fostering self-dependence among people with disabilities.

Gratitude and Acknowledgments: We extend our deepest gratitude to all who contributed to the success of this initiative, including our supporters, volunteers, and partners. Together, we have made a tangible difference in the life of Kwabena and have taken a meaningful step towards building a more inclusive and unbiased society.

In conclusion, the presentation of the fully stocked container shop to Kwabena serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that acts of kindness can have on the lives of individuals and communities alike. As we continue our journey of service and advocacy, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to creating an inclusive world.

As an institution that relies heavily on public support, our contribution serves as a beacon of hope for the students and staff of Gbi Special School.

We understand the transformative power of community support. It is through acts of kindness and generosity that we create meaningful change and uplift those who need it most.
