    "content": "disabilities. In Kenya, 2.2 per cent of Kenyans or more than 1 million people live with disabilities. This is a significant number of people who require great care and support from their friends, families, and any available support. Disability is a very sensitive issue because it can affect anyone at any stage in their life. A child can be born disabled or a person may become disabled due to an accident. For example, a military officer may be injured in the line of duty and require amputation. Some people suffer from strokes and while others suffer from disabilities. Critical illnesses like cancer can lead to severe disability. Therefore, disability is not an issue that only belongs to a certain category of people. Due to the significant number of PWDs and the associated risks, they require a network of support or caregivers at all times. Caring for a child with disability is a full-time job for the parents, guardians or caregivers. These caregivers go through several challenges, including physical, emotional and financial hardships. They even sacrifice their personal lives because they cannot fully socialise with others while taking care of PWDs."
