Webinar on Empowering Africa – Strengthening Support Systems for a Brighter Future

In observance of World Down Syndrome Day, we are pleased to invite you to a special webinar focused on empowering individuals with Down syndrome by strengthening support systems across Africa.

The Africa Down Syndrome Network in collaboration with The Africa Disability Forum will be hosting a webinar in commemoration of World Down Syndrome Day on the 27 March. Many countries do not have the support systems required to support the needs of persons with disabilities. Self-advocates and experts will share their perspective on how support systems can be improved and how government leaders can make a change.

Join us as we bring together experts, advocates, and individuals with lived experiences to explore key strategies for building a more inclusive and supportive society.
