The Executive Director of ActionAid International Kenya Susan Otieno has reiterated that Action Aid Kenya will empower women with children living with various disabilities. Speaking to the whistling African during the launch of the Women Economic Empowerment Advocacy coalition at a Nairobi Hotel yesterday evening Susan Otieno said, ” What we are targeting is that there is inclusivity that brings in people with disability and of families that have children with disability so that we can be able to improve their economic status to be able to take care of their children”

The Executive director continued to add, “Children with disability require a little bit of extra care. We are equally looking at government policies which ensure that there is inclusivity. How has the government provided this in their programme to take care of children with disability in addition to getting empowered economically to be able to fend for their children. A child who is visually impaired must be supported to be in school in addition to ensuring that the environment at home is able to support such a child”
