National Commission on Disability

Empowering children who are blind and visually impaired through practical skills, independence and inclusion. ♿💙

Kindness is for everyone.

Show kindness to people with disabilities:
• Respect their choices
• Offer to help if needed
• Listen to and talk with them

Let's support all people living with a disability to be independent.

Independence looks different for everyone, and that’s okay. What matters is that we create spaces, opportunities, and communities where people with disabilities have choice, dignity, and support to live life on their own terms.

At Empower Guyana, Center for Equity, Opportunity & Innovation, we believe equity starts with access. Access to skills, to resources, to respect.

Together we rise. Together we support. 💛
