We joined education stakeholders in Nairobi for the launch of the Inclusive Education Hub for Africa, hosted by LM International​ in partnership with Ministry of Education - Kenya and other sector actors.

The Hub brings together organisations and institutions working to advance across Africa, creating space for knowledge exchange, collaboration and action.

Light for the World Kenya works with partners in the public and private sectors to identify and address barriers that prevent learners with disabilities from accessing quality education. Stronger partnerships and shared solutions can help build education systems where every learner has the opportunity to participate, learn, and thrive.

We look forward to contributing our expertise alongside organisations of persons with disabilities and other sector partners to advance practical solutions that make work for children and young people with disabilities in Kenya and beyond.

Too often, learners with disabilities lose access to assistive devices when they leave school. Without these devices, continuing their education, finding work and participating in community life can become more difficult.

At , Light for the World Kenya’s Regional Disability Inclusion Advisor, Samuel Odawo, called for action to ensure access to assistive technology continues beyond the school years. He made the call during the Disability Inclusion through Technology Across the Life Course panel discussions.

For many persons with disabilities, access to assistive technology remains limited by high costs, inadequate public funding and gaps in referral services. Addressing these barriers requires affordable devices, effective referral pathways and support that continues beyond school.

At Light for the World Kenya, we work with our partners to make disability inclusion work in practice, including by improving access to assistive technology beyond school. This helps create opportunities for persons with disabilities to pursue further education, find work and participate fully in community life.

Digital innovation makes learning more inclusive when technology and teaching approaches are designed to respond to diverse learning needs and remove barriers to participation for learners with disabilities.

Light for the World Kenya's Disability Inclusion Advisor, Ivy Kihara​ explored this during the , Innovation and panel at .

In her contribution on Universal Design for Learning: Using Digital Innovation to Make Every Classroom Inclusive, she emphasized the need to design accessible digital content from the outset, including features such as magnification, sign language interpretation, visuals and captions.

In low-resource classrooms, this also means equipping teachers to use these tools effectively and ensuring technology works despite challenges such as unreliable internet connectivity and electricity. Ultimately, the success of digital innovation and assistive technology should not be measured by the number of devices in a classroom, but by whether learners with disabilities can participate, learn and thrive on an equal basis with others.

This week, we joined education stakeholders, disability rights advocates, innovators, governments and development partners at the Kenya Institute of Special Education Disability Inclusion Conference 2026, themed Advancing Disability Inclusion through Assistive Technology and Innovation.

At Light for the World Kenya, we know that access to is only part of the equation. A device or digital tool cannot, on its own remove barriers created by inaccessible learning environments, limited support or institutional practices that exclude persons with disabilities. We need to look beyond the technology itself. How it is designed, made accessible, supported and used within education, in workspaces and other systems matters just as much.

Over the coming days, we will be sharing key insights, reflections and perspectives from the on what it takes to make inclusion work through and innovation.

What does it take to make inclusion work in the aquaculture sector?

Our partner Farm Africa​ , through its 'Youth in Sustainable Aquaculture' programme, is showing what becomes possible when disability inclusion is built into how economic opportunities are designed and delivered.

Working with Light for the World Kenya, Farm Africa has adapted its training, outreach and programme practices to respond to the diverse inclusion needs of young people with disabilities. This is enabling them to participate across the fish value chain, from farming and hatchery operations to processing and trading, while building skills, accessing finance and earning income.

Evans Okacha , Deputy Programme Manager at Farm Africa​, reflects on their journey and why inclusive practices need to be built in from the beginning and carried through programme implementation.

We partnered with Kenya Airways to make its workplace more inclusive for young people with disabilities, including through changes to its HR practices. Kenya Airways has put this into practice through workplace adjustments and by providing the tools and support young people with disabilities need to do their jobs well and grow.

As Linda Okolo, Business Support Executive at Kenya Airways​, reflects on their journey, she highlights that inclusion cannot depend only on one person or department, people across the organisation need to understand what inclusion means in their day-to-day work and play their part in making it work.

True inclusion starts with equal opportunity. đź’ˇ

We were honored to collaborate with Light for the World Kenya under their "We can Work Program", which partners with employers to create dignified and fulfilling work for young people with disabilities.

At SNDBX, we fundamentally believe that true growth happens when everyone, regardless of ability, is given the platform, support, and environment to excel. Together, we captured behind the scenes moments as they filmed a documentary featuring Anzigale Cedric, who serves as Graphic Designer at SNDBX International and Assistant Marketing Officer at SNDBX Ubuntu.

During the shoot, Cedric shared how SNDBX has accommodated him as a person with a disability, providing a truly accessible and conducive work environment where he has been able to thrive, benefit professionally, and continuously grow.

His journey highlights how inclusive workplaces unlock top-tier talent, allowing professionals with disabilities to build thriving careers and contribute meaningfully to enterprise growth.

Swipe to see the team at work, and stay tuned for the official documentary release!

Light for the World Kenya works with public and private sector partners to make disability inclusion part of how they design programmes and develop inclusive workplaces.

We bring together technical expertise and the lived experience of persons with disabilities to help partners see what may be missing, question assumptions and make changes that improve how their programmes and organisations work.

Last week, we hosted the Disability Inclusion Facilitator Academy, equipping young persons with disabilities with the knowledge, skills and practical experience to support this work across the ecosystem and beyond.

From experience, we know that disability inclusion becomes effective when organisations have the right knowledge, skills and perspectives to make better decisions, design more inclusive programmes and create opportunities that work for persons with disabilities.

Growing an business takes more than knowing how to collect, repair, recycle or refurbish electronics. You also need practical business support, access to markets and the confidence to make decisions about where to take the business next.

Through , Light for the World Kenya’s Business Development Service (BDS) providers work directly with entrepreneurs with disabilities across 10 counties. They provide coaching, mentorship, market linkages and business support to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses. In 2026 alone, our BDS providers have supported 816 entrepreneurs with disabilities.

This week, we brought BDS providers and Disability Inclusion Facilitators together to strengthen how they support entrepreneurs. We focused on coaching and mentorship, apprenticeships, market opportunities and using data to inform business decisions.

By strengthening the capacity of BDS providers and Disability Inclusion Facilitators, we are improving the support available to entrepreneurs with disabilities, bridging barriers to business growth and helping more small businesses access opportunities in Kenya’s growing electronic waste sector and build sustainable incomes.
