The Disable Welfare Foundation (DWF) has made significant contributions to primary health and vocational training for persons with disabilities in Somalia. We have implemented various initiatives to improve access to healthcare services and skill development opportunities for individuals with disabilities. In terms of primary health, the DWF has collaborated with local healthcare providers to establish accessible and inclusive healthcare centers. These centers are equipped with necessary medical facilities and staffed with professionals who specialize in addressing the unique needs of persons with disabilities. They focus on preventive care, treatment, and rehabilitation services, ensuring that individuals with disabilities receive the healthcare they require.

Additionally, the DWF has spearheaded vocational training programs to empower individuals with disabilities and enhance their employment prospects. Together with partners, DWF offers a wide range of vocational courses and skills training tailored to the specific needs and abilities of persons with disabilities. These programs aim to equip them with valuable skills and knowledge, enabling them to pursue meaningful and sustainable careers. Furthermore, the DWF promotes inclusivity and social integration by advocating for disability rights and raising awareness about the importance of equal opportunities for persons with disabilities. Through community engagement and awareness campaigns, they work towards eliminating stigmas and stereotypes surrounding disability, fostering an inclusive society that values and supports individuals with disabilities.

The DWF has established community outreach programs that focus on providing counseling and psychological support to individuals with disabilities and their families. These programs help address the emotional and mental well-being of persons with disabilities, ensuring they have access to the necessary support systems.

DWF actively engages in advocacy work at a national level to influence policy and legislation related to disability rights and inclusion. By collaborating with government bodies, NGOs, and other stakeholders, they strive to create a more supportive legal framework and ensure that the rights of persons with disabilities are protected. Overall, the Disable Welfare Foundation’s multifaceted approach to supporting persons with disabilities in Somalia encompasses healthcare, vocational training, community outreach, assistive technology, inclusive education, and advocacy. Their dedication and comprehensive efforts are positively impacting the lives of individuals with disabilities and promoting inclusivity within Somali society.
