Share Our Story (#SOS) is an initiative that is emerging from the Wales Africa Movement and seeks to bring people with disabilities together and discuss their lived experiences. Since its beginning in March 2022, #SOS has shared over 200 stories and discussions with contributors from 11 African countries plus Wales.

With the assistance of Hub Cymru Africa (HCA), this online event will feature a number of presentations, plus an open panel discussion highlighting the achievements, ambitions, and lived experiences of disabled communities in Wales and Africa.

 

Panelists

David Achuroa is the chair of the panel. He comes from Ghana but now lives in Canada.

Luvuyo Zondani is from South Africa. He will talk about how disabled people had to challenge the local authorities in the courts to get their Dial a Ride service reinstated.

Rael Muli is a member of the local deaf community in Meru, Kenya. They hosted a local Deaf Awareness campaign.

Disabled People Against Cuts Cymru (Wales), represented by Ben Golightly and Lee Ellery. They are a group of disabled people who have come together to fight against the cuts to services and expenditure supporting disabled people in Wales and the UK.
