Kamba, herself a person with a disability from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and member of the WCC Central Committee, works as a volunteer coordinator for French-speaking Africa for the Ecumenical Disability Advocates Network (EDAN), a project of the WCC.  

It was at a recent EDAN conference which took place in Johannesburg, South Africa, from 27 February to 2 March, that Kamba spoke about the marginalization of women with disabilities, encouraging churches to be more proactive in protecting their rights.
