Case Studies and Reports


Hudson Karume is a visually impaired disability rights advocate and the Executive Director of Vision for the Blind in Mombasa, Kenya. With a strong passion for policy advocacy and inclusion, he works to advance the rights and opportunities of persons with disabilities through meaningful disability mainstreaming initiatives. As an OPD leader, Hudson is committed to creating sustainable impact in livelihoods and economic empowerment for persons with disabilities, while championing inclusive policies that promote dignity, participation, and equal access in society. OPDs in Kenya are transitioning from informal, manual systems to more structured, technology-enabled operations. However, this shift remains fragmented. Persistent challenges include weak documentation systems, limited institutional accountability, inconsistent funding, and gaps in translating legal frameworks into practice.
