FCDE is committed to helping local partners gain the skills and knowledge they need to strengthen operations and expand their impact. For KaGPWD, this means training people who live with disabilities in tangible skills they can use to earn a living. Program participants like Joseline demonstrate that disability is not inability.

“Because of Karambi Group of People with Disabilities basket weaving training, I have made more money by continuing to make baskets for sale and I have been able to establish another business of selling charcoal. The money made from the baskets and charcoal has supported me to take care of my basic needs, pay rent, and also I contribute fees to my grandchild who is still in primary school.”
