Why we focus on assistive
KDV has a mandate to bridge the gap to the youth who are blind, have low vision, and are sometimes multi-disabled. Because of their visual disability, they learn to read using Braille, and computer-assistive technology provides voice-to-text.
Bridging the gap between the blind and sighted in Kenyan Marginalized communities through computer assistive technology and digital accessibility. As a result, our community can pursue advanced education and seek gainful employment in fields that would otherwise be out of reach.
Basic Computer Skills
The Disabled Community have an interest in basic and advanced to skill-building computer modules, such as typing, sending emails, and using the office suite, As KDV we want to bridge the Gap from the Minute basic level to the most Advanced level in Technology.
Employable Skills Training
We want to equip the Disabled Community with valued workplace employable skills, KDV offers employable skills training in partnerships such as Web Design, Graphic Design, Design Thinking and Research.
Advocacy & Coaching
Achieving all this without proper mentorship and a clear advocacy program is barely achievable that is why in our community we work with organisations and individuals in the space of impact to the disabled such as Action Foundation.
