This call was made on Thursday, this week by Light for the world’s Lydia Abenaitwe while delivering her remarks at an end-line event for the Make 12.4% Work initiative at Golf Course Hotel in Kampala.

She said “To anyone who are willing to walk the journey of promoting disability inclusion, we are here to give you all the necessary advice, technical tools and resources to support you walk this journey with us”

As one of the panelists of the event, Abenaitwe reminded the audience the core values of Light for the World. She said this flagship programme (Make 12.4% Work) opens employment and business opportunities for people with disabilities and connects specially trained Disability Inclusion Facilitators with businesses in need of inclusion advice. It is driven by youth with disabilities.

Light For the World, together with Reach a Hand Uganda, and NUDIPU organised the event for the Make 12.4% Work initiative. This initiative was launched in 2018 and four years down the road, Make 12.4% work has recorded several achievements, when it comes to disability inclusion in Uganda but most especially in employing persons with disability.

Also, the “Make 12.4% work” project is an awareness initiative that has been implemented by Light for the World, NUDIPU, and Reach a Hand Uganda (RAHU).

12.4% reflects the percentage of Uganda’s population with disabilities according to the 2014 Uganda National Population and Housing Census Report. Reason the Make 12.4% work name came about.
