"The Right To Rise". A Project for the Physically Challenged to Reduce Inequality
FEYReP advocates for integration and inclusion of persons living with disability in every aspect of our political, social, economic and cultural life. In Akwa Ibom, we have taken steps to ensure persons living with disability embrace the aquisition of skills that would make them economically self reliant, after which they are provided with trade-specific equipment, grants and aids.
So far, FEYReP has trained and empowered 697 persons living with disability by providing them with business grants, training on capacity building and the provision of need-based/trade-specific starter packs which include but not limited to; Sewing machines, Generators, Barbing equipment, Braille machines, Catering equipment and Business grants. FEYReP has also advocated for and facilitated the employment of some persons living with disability who are qualified into the state civil service workforce.
