Distribution of Assistive Devices to People with Disabilities
KIDSEG has ensured that there is a sustained distribution of assistive devices to people with disabilities in Kisumu County. Assistive devices play a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities. The devices we distribute range from mobility aids like wheelchairs and crutches to sensory aids like hearing devices and communication tools. KIDSEG has worked closely with Crotches 4 Africa organization to ensure the initiative to distribute assistive devices to people with disabilities to promote inclusion, independence, and improve overall wellbeing is sustained.
