Foreword by Founders – Kimma Wreh and Boniface Ihiasota
We founded KDE to help people with disabilities who are usually the most neglected especially girls and young women in Liberia and Nigeria. After leaving war-torn Liberia to pursue education in the U.S., Kimma always wanted to help those who were left behind especially marginalized girls and young women who lag behind male counterparts due to teenage pregnancy, early marriages, school dropouts, etc.
Females with physical disabilities are among the most vulnerable and many lack practical skills for gainful employment or entrepreneurship. This program will give the students a second chance which Kimma was fortunate enough to receive at an early age.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
