According to statistics, there are an estimated 30-40 million nomads in the world. Their culture involves a lot of movement in search of food and pasture and it's a matter of survival for the fittest. The disabled members of this nomadic communities suffer the most, with most of them dying young.
The Northern Nomadic Disabled Persons Organisation (Nondo) is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) formed by Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) from the Northern Kenya. It aims to improve the quality of life of PWD in the wider Northern Kenya, by eliminating all barriers that are hindering their full and effective participation thus giving them a platform to network, learn and have a voice.
It is the first organisation of its type that caters for these marginalised and voiceless group of people.
