Our impact, your inspiration
At LGPD Rwanda, every life transformed reflects the power of inclusion, equal opportunity, and community support. Through our programmes in advocacy and awareness, women empowerment, health care support, inclusive education, rehabilitation, and the promotion of equal rights and inclusion, we have witnessed remarkable stories of resilience, hope, and positive change.
These stories showcase the strength and determination of women with disabilities, children with disabilities, and their families as they overcome barriers and build brighter futures. They remind us that, with the right support and inclusive opportunities, every person can reach their full potential. Explore these inspiring journeys and see the lasting impact your partnership and support make in transforming lives and building a more inclusive Rwanda.
After attending LGPD's disability rights training, Monique, a mother with a physical disability, gained the confidence to advocate for her rights and those of other women and children with disabilities.
Monique's Story
Francine, a woman with visual impairment, transformed her life through LGPD's empowerment programme. She learned massage therapy, started earning an income, and now encourages others to recognise the abilities of persons with disabilities.
Francine's Story
Benita's mother, Chantal, once struggled to accept her daughter's disability. Through LGPD's awareness programmes, she learned about disability rights, sought medical care for Benita, and today Benita has received corrective surgery.
Benita's Story
Empowering ability, promoting inclusion, transforming lives.
We want every visitor to leave our stories with hope, compassion, and a deeper understanding that disability is not inability. Each story demonstrates that when persons with disabilities are given equal opportunities, access to services, and community support, they can overcome barriers, achieve their goals, and contribute meaningfully to society.
Our main message is that inclusion transforms lives. By standing together to promote rights, challenge stigma, and invest in the potential of women, girls, and children with disabilities, we can build a Rwanda where everyone is valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. We also hope these stories inspire individuals, organisations, and partners to join LGPD in creating lasting change for persons with disabilities and their families.
