If you have made, or know someone who has made, a significant contribution to persons with disabilities, either at a local, constituency or national level, tell us about it by submitting a nomination or nominating them for the 2011 Inaugural Kenyan National Ability Awards. The awards will inspire us with the stories of people who have overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges and people who have worked tirelessly to create greater inclusion for persons with disabilities. They are our co-workers, friends and family: individuals who offer hope and inspire us with their courage, strength, and drive to give back to their communities.
The 2011 inaugural awards will also celebrate the exceptional leadership of groups and organizations who have done so much to create greater access and opportunities for persons with disabilities. Their efforts lead the way and show others what is possible.
In addition to recognizing these exception individuals, groups and organizations at an award celebration on December 2, 2011, there are some remarkable prizes including:
« two tickets to the 2012 Paralympic Games in London for the Lifetime Achievement Award recipient;
« an education scholarship for up to four years for the Youth Ability Award recipient; and
« up to 250,000KSH in health and sport equipment for the Sport, Health and Wellbeing Award recipient.
The National Ability Awards are part of the Kenyan Government’s celebration of International Day of Persons with Disabilities that is held on 3 December each year. The day is a collaborative effort to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions and experiences of persons with disabilities. We thank all of our partners and sponsors for their contributions.
We would greatly welcome any assistance you can give to spread the word about these awards and help us find the most inspiring award recipients.
