Mark Mwavishi Sabwami – Founder of Jipange [Prepare Yourself]
My Story – I slowly became blind due to Retinitis Pigmentosa, a genetically transmitted condition. In 2012, I was rehabilitated and got access to education. Blind people in rural areas of Kenya cannot access training due to poverty and lack of awareness of available opportunities. This gave me a mission to address blind people’s needs, especially from remote regions, through counseling and life skills empowerment that will enable access to education, promote blind persons’ inclusion in career options and make them an effective workforce in the job market.
