Summary[edit]

Description

During the trip, Ade Adepitan also had the chance to meet and play basketball with Ugandan national wheelchair team. The team has ambitions to join the next Paralympics competition in 2017 - underscoring Uganda's efforts to be at the forefront of the disability movement in Africa.

Beyond the basketball court, Uganda's government is pushing forward the disabled agenda. An Act of Parliament ensures legal protection and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities and an annual grant of 30 million Uganda Shillings (£7,000) is given to each district to support the needs of people with disabilities. In addition, the Ugandan constitution also recognises sign language as a national language.
