At Disability Aid Foundation, we believe accessibility starts with listening.

When persons with disabilities are meaningfully consulted from the beginning, solutions become practical, inclusive, and sustainable.

Nothing about us, without us-in action.

Today, we proudly commemorated the International Day of Persons with Disabilities under the global theme “Fostering Disability-Inclusive Societies for Advancing Social Progress.” The event, held at Peace Hotel in Mogadishu, was organized by Handicap International - Humanity & Inclusion (HI) with generous funding from German Humanitarian Assistance, and carried out in close collaboration with Somalia’s leading disability organizations; SODEN, DAF, SWDE, Mustaqbal Special Need Center and the National Disability Agency (NDA).

This year’s theme captured the spirit of the day: building a society where inclusion is intentional, participation is meaningful, and progress is shared by all. Throughout the event, the voices of persons with disabilities led the conversation, reminding us that real development cannot be achieved when any segment of society is excluded. Today reaffirmed that a truly inclusive Somalia is not only possible but essential for national growth and social justice.

We extend our deepest appreciation to all partners, stakeholders, and OPDs whose unwavering commitment drives the disability inclusion movement forward. Together, we are shaping a future where accessibility is guaranteed, equality is realized, and dignity is protected for every person with a disability.

Inclusion is not a privilege, it is a right. Somalia moves forward when everyone moves forward.

SDG 13 – Climate Action.

Climate action must be disability-inclusive.

Persons with disabilities face greater risks and must be part of the solution.
