Kazia is the Upper West Regional leader and a person with a mental health condition who took part in the Empowered Deaf People for Improved Mental Health Project. He, and other deaf people, gained valuable insights and knowledge about mental health and how it affects them. The project changed their perception about mental health conditions and enhanced discourses regarding how they can access treatment.

Agnes was trained as an Inclusion Champion as part of the project. The position made it possible for her to travel and lobby decision-making organisations like local government services through Social Welfare, CHRAJ, and others. Her advocacy efforts have led to increased freedom of movement by people with disabilities, whose families, hitherto, kept them at home.

Kofi Dake became disabled through an accident in 2021. He was unable to meet the financial burden of care as he was unable to work. This led to hardships. He was stigmatised by his community and called names like “Pozzo”. Over time he felt suicidal but with the help of Inclusion Ambassadors, he was able to accept his situation. The community was sensitised to stop stigmatising him, paving the way for Kofi to engage in community activities as he explores a new career as a farmer.

Wumya Napari, a woman from Sukaya in the Gushegu District of the Northern region, was forced to leave her community following witchcraft allegations. She finally reunites with her family after a decade of living at the Kpatinga Witches’ Camp.
