Nalule Harriet, 45 year old, is about to start a new job: She is engaged in a research project with ADD, Action on Disability and Development, and will interview other persons with disabilities on their experiences in the market or business. “I am so happy! Thank you for thinking about me. My daughter will be my guide, and the little money we will make will be for the growth and development of our family”, Harriet Nalule says.
This story is written by Margaret Ninsiima, volunteer at UNAB. She is in charge of identifying interviewers to the ADD project.
Regjeringen har for alvor tatt inn over seg at folk med funksjonshemning tilhører de aller fattigste og utstøtte. Det er flott at gruppen nå endelig blir prioritert i målformuleringene, - Nå håper vi bare det følges opp reelt i den endelige fordelingen av bistandsmidlene, sier Arnt Holte, styreleder i Atlas-alliansen. Holte er også assisterende generalsekretær i Norges blindeforbund.
