Disabilities are often overlooked in places such as Africa and I find it compelling to get involved as an activist in promoting the rights of persons with disabilities not just in sub-Saharan Africa but in the global arena.

Unfortunately, disability is being tackled using the Charity Model throughout sub-Saharan Africa. The Charity Model is not dependent on the existence of charities – but it does heavily inform many charities, especially ones focused on disability. It is concerned with seeing disability as tragic and in need of support. The model is not about supporting disabled people to live our lives on our own terms; it is not concerned with civil rights, independent living, meaningful employment or equal access to education.

There are a number of charities for disabled people constructed on this basis, led by non-disabled people to help disabled people live better lives or find cures. This is a problem as it not only means that services are not shaped by people who truly understand the needs of disabled people, but they also offer no role-modelling or alternative narratives for disabled people.

Often “Charity Model” charities fundraise through imagery and messaging that shows disabled people as helpless and tragic – to generate emotive responses from non – disabled people who will hopefully feel enough pity to put their hands in their pocket. Though this may solve the immediate needs of the individuals or groups concerned, it gives these people the role of liabilities in the society that people ought to consider because of their disabilities. No attention is given to the real needs of those with disabilities which is social acceptance and dreams of also pursuing realisable goals which in turn gives them a sense of purpose and value in the society.

We must encourage a tripartite solution involving public, private and the federal sector to develop and establish a new platform that will create sustainable change. It is in light of this that I hope that the new era of the sustainable development goals will entrench a better understanding and development of a more inclusive society for all.

Education is one of the best things we can ever give to the next generation. It should be about not just going to school but creating a suitable environment for lifelong learning where we continue to learn throughout the trajectory of human life. However, a strong foundation particularly at early childhood cannot be overemphasised as it is during this period that we develop the grit and cognitive abilities that enables us to pursue a fulfilling life.

Education in sub-Saharan Africa must be recalibrated, as the current model is not geared towards a digital age. It does not provide learners with the competence and the minimum skills required in the current digitally inclined workplace. A determination to further improve the currently crippled educational system has led me to solve one of the problems within the education ecosystem which is about the training of our teachers. I often say a teacher is the most fundamental aspect of the education chain; one can train under a tree in Kenya but have a better outcome than those trained in a beautiful classroom in Nigeria. So it is really about the teacher that is what led me to co-founded the Axiom Learning Solutions.

Therefore, as an active practitioner and advocate, I continue to pursue the understanding of needs at grassroots that will lead to learning outcomes that encompasses localised solutions, problem-solving, innovative funding concepts as well as connections with global environment to create and implement a curriculum that is all-encompassing.

However, there are other areas within education that are relatively important. One area I have interest in is education finance and under this, the question is how we can give credit to people so that they can access education. It is an area I am constantly looking to collaborate and work with other people to create a significant social impact; either through a business, a social enterprise or public sector engagement.
