I visited KAIH (Kenya Association of Intellectually
Handicapped) in Umoja, a suburb of Nairobi. KAIH has a cooperation project
with the Finnish organisation FDUV (Association for Swedish-speaking persons with
intellectual disability in Finland) and had expressed an interest in grassroots
comics for their activities in Kenya.
After my presentation of the
grassroots comics concept and recounting experiences from other countries,
Fatma Wangari, KAIH's Secretary General commented: -This method could be very useful, especially
for our self-advocates. For them to come out in the open, would make their life
more bearable as well as increase acceptance and knowledge in the society.
