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.
