Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities! 🌍

CIDI is proud to impact the lives of people with disabilities both at home in Georgia and abroad.

According to the WHO, less than 3% of those who live in Sub-Saharan Africa have access to the assistive technology they need to thrive.

Through the Global Assistive Technology Innovation (GATI) hub, we’re working to close the assistive technology access gap in Sub-Saharan Africa.

By building local capacity and fostering innovation where the need is the greatest, the impact is both sustainable and long-term.
