Fund-raising - Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom
We are a group of individuals and organisations, working through a series of community and institutional Links, fostering solidarity and support between Wales and Africa. The specific role DWA is to ensure the activities of the Links incorporate needs and lives of disabled people, their families, and support agencies. Although some Links are "disability specific", most of them are associated with Health, Education, Livelihood, Agriculture, and other "mainstream" agendas. The challenge for DWA is to assist Links to include disability issues within these agendas.Both Wales and Africa are on a developmental road regarding the needs of disabled people, and the challenges being faced. Although Wales has support services, technology and trained personnel, Africa allows the opportunity to do things differently, particularly with its often greater community emphasis . Both Wales and Africa have things to learn from each other.This website is not just to tell you what is happening within DWA it is also to be a sharing forum to allow readers within Wales, Africa, and beyond, to discuss ideas and demonstrate how they have overcome respective barriers. We want to hear from you, what you have achieved, and why it has worked. Please feel free to engage with us through our blogs. Send us articles and features for the DWA newsletter. Show how disabled people are becoming part of mainstream society.
