Today, we celebrate the strength, independence and achievements of people who are visually impaired. Together, we honor the white cane as a powerful assistive technology that promotes independence, confidence, mobility, and inclusion. 👩🏾‍🦯✨

At RATA, we believe innovation is for everyone. Through coding, hands-on robotics, and assistive technology training, we are equipping youth with disabilities with the skills to innovate, solve real-world challenges, and thrive in the digital future. This is our second cohort that includes the best performers from our digital literacy training for youth with disabilities in the community being ready to be part of innovators and participate in the digital economy. @RISARwanda

Last Week, RATA was pleased to attend the kLab graduation ceremony, celebrating young people who successfully completed training in Software Development, IoT, and Data Analytics. We were honored to collaborate with kLab in equipping young persons with disabilities with digital skills through the Digital Skills for Employment Program, led by DOT Rwanda and supported by the Mastercard Foundation. The event was also a meaningful opportunity to celebrate the power of collaboration in advancing inclusion and creating equal opportunities for all.

The training empowers participants to confidently use digital tools in their daily lives, education, and future careers. This initiative reflects RATA’s ongoing commitment to advancing digital inclusion and ensuring that persons with disabilities are actively engaged in Rwanda’s digital transformation. #RATA #Digitalinclusion @RISARwanda
