"We have 10% (45) persons with disabilities employed at Uraia. I didn’t wait for #policies, I didn’t have to tell the board, I only had to inform them. Persons with disabilities don't need prayers, they need money (funding and opportunities)," Dr. Oliver Waindi @UraiaTrust #CAF #Representation @KKedipa
