ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In August 2021, Just Peoples.org was the first YTM Ripple Grant recipient to enable Just Peoples Project Leader Elizabeth (Liz) , a physiotherapist for nearly 20 years in Kenya.
After finding it too difficult to turn away children living with disabilities who were unable to pay her fees, Liz committed to provide free support to Maasai families who have a child living with a disability.
In addition to supporting children through treatment and diagnosis, Liz also runs holistic programs to break the stigma facing children living with disabilities in Maasailand, who are traditionally hidden away from society in dark mud houses.
You will hear how Liz educates Maasai mothers and fathers and debunks the belief that having a child born with a disability is a curse on the family. She shows them that with the right support and treatment, their kids can still live fulfilling lives. She trains parents on how they can meet their children’s specific needs and works with entire communities to help shift the current stigma facing children living with disabilities so they can thrive and participate in wider society.
Liz shares the outcome of the 3 day camp she ran as a result of funding through Just Peoples, supported by YTM Ripple , and her plans for the coming year.
The ripple effect is something you too can create within your own family setting and can experience the growth and fulfillment that meaningful conversations and relationships can drive.
