The National Council for Persons Living with Disability says many parents and caregivers struggle to provide necessities such as nappies. The organisation held a fun walk and wheel event at the Johannesburg Zoo to raise awareness and collect nappy donations for children and adults living with disabilities.
The initiative underscores how access to nappies can restore dignity, improve hygiene and health and unlock opportunities for education and inclusion. The Council calls on the government to come on board and support such initiatives.
Laughter and fun were the order of the day as families, students and caregivers commemorate Disability Rights Awareness month at the 14th annual Nappy Run.
