Who is Kabayo Foundation and what gap do they intend to fill
KABAYO Foundation is a non-governmental organization based in Kenya, established in 2005 with a mission to transform disabilities through sport. The foundation focuses on leveraging sports as a tool for promoting the rights, inclusion, and empowerment of individuals with disabilities in the social and economic environment.
The gap KABAYO Foundation intends to fill lies in the limited opportunities and support available for individuals with disabilities to fully participate in sports, recreation, and societal activities. Despite the progress made in advancing disability rights and inclusion, many individuals with disabilities still face barriers to accessing sports programs, facilities, and opportunities for competitive engagement.
KABAYO Foundation aims to bridge this gap by:
Providing access to adaptive sports programs and facilities tailored to the needs of individuals with disabilities.
Promoting awareness and advocacy for disability rights and inclusion through sports.
Building partnerships with stakeholders, including government agencies, businesses, and civil society organizations, to create inclusive environments and opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Offering support services, training, and mentorship to empower individuals with disabilities to participate fully in sports, develop their talents, and achieve their potential.
