Shikuku’s Challenge
Shikuku Obosi is one of AbleChildAfrica’s Trustees. He was born in Kenya and suffered from polio as a child causing a physical disability. His disability has not stopped Shikuku from having a career in International Development. I first met him on a project visit to Kenya almost ten years ago. Since then he has worked in India, Sri Lanka and is currently responsible for a number of programmes at Action of Disability and Development who are based here in the UK.
Shikuku passionately believes that we need to demonstrate just how much young disabled people are capable of achieving and so he has pledged to join the team climbing Kilimanjaro in November. Along with other young disabled people who are involved in our projects Shikuku will help us to make the point that Disability really isn’t inability and that, consequently, young disabled people should be supported to achieve their rights.
