Youth Attitudes Towards Disability Sport & Assistive Technology

The 2024 Paralympic Games present a unique cultural moment to amplify the voices and stories of persons living with disabilities. To leverage this global event, the Global Disability Innovation Hub partnered with Shujaaz, an Emmy award winning partner based in Kenya to create a comprehensive initiative that explores and highlights the cultural impact of disability beyond the realm of sports. As part of this work Shujaaz collected data from Kenyans aged 18-24 across the country to understand:

• To what extent young Kenyans are aware of, positive about, participating in disabled sports
• To what extent young Kenyans are aware of, positive about, making use of assistive technology.
