To safeguard the rights of people with disabilities during this period, Plan International is working with the disability relief organisation OSH-Guinea to prevent the spread of the virus and protect the most vulnerable communities in Conakry.

The association, made up of girls with disabilities between the ages of 19 and 35, is ensuring that people with disabilities have the hygiene materials they need to shield themselves against the disease.

“People with disabilities are very exposed to this disease and as the main objective of our association is to help these people, this is why we have set up this project with Plan International.

That people living with disabilities have come to support other people with disabilities, really comforts me I am filled with joy and it is with real pleasure that we welcome this young dynamic team," expressed Ms. Rose, Deputy Executive Director of Cité Solidarité.

This distribution forms part of the implementation of a two-year project to support the socio-economic integration of young people living with disabilities financed by Plan International Guinea.
