MSAADA

  Map of Services Aiding and Advocating for individuals with DisAbilities

Unazungumza kiswahili?

Walking Together, Walking Far

On our journey in life, we all need help from one another. MSAADA (the Swahili word for 'help') was created to provide reliable and easy-to-access information about disability resources throughout Kenya. By linking individuals with disabilities with appropriate resources and support, we aim to walk alongside them on their journey in health and well-being.
