Advocate for women with disabilities, Aneth Isaya, has been elected African Deaf Initiative (ADI) Vice President from East Africa.
The founder of Furaha ya Wanawake Wajasiriamali kwa Viziwi Tanzania (FUWAVITA), which translates into English as Joy Women Entrepreneurship For The Deaf, was elected based on her massive contributions to the development of deaf and disability community.
Isaya, whose FUWAVITA aims to empower women with disabilities through entrepreneurship and leadership programme, was also appointed Director of Disability at an international organisation, Travel Tree That Grows.
She said, ‘I know it is not an easy task. But as a mother of young kids and also a woman i will do all my best to show them that women can’, Inclusive News quoted her as saying in a statement.
‘Now I will be very busy than I have ever been. I will make sure I plan my timetable ahead of time so I can control all duties equally.
She advised deaf youths to work hard by advocating the right of deaf people in East Africa and Africa as a whole.
ADI is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) established in 2015 and registered in Zambia.
