The IREDE Foundation’s annual out on a limb walk is here again!!!
The out on a limb event is a 2 kilo-meter annual awareness walk across several locations around the world simultaneously. It aims to bring the attention of society to the challenges faced by children with limb loss and persons with disabilities (PWDs) and the need to promote the inclusion and participation of PWDs across board.
The 2022 OOAL event is themed “Iredians” to promote the first ever disability comic book in Africa launched in 2021. The Iredians showcases the active leadership and participation of children with disabilities fighting against the discrimination of their peers.
Join the cause and together we can amplify our voices for Child Amputees and persons with disabilities across all locations. See details of the event below;
