The Union of persons with disabilities in Maracha District has officially been registered under the National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda (NUDIPU) after the PWDs elected Drapari Dicky Nyomia on 14-August-2024 as their Chairperson in Maracha District.

Speaking to our reporter on Wednesday 20-November-2024, Mr Drapari Dicky Nyomia expressed his happiness for the success of registering their Union ever since it was formed and recognized in Maracha District ten years ago.

While narrating a testimony from other regions of Uganda which he witnessed at the 37th Anniversary celebration of National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda (NUDIPU) advocacy day last week Thursday 14-November-2024 in Mukono District, Mr Drapari is optimistic that, he would lay a strong foundation and spirit of independence for development for PWDs in Maracha District.

“If people with disabilities (PWDs) from other regions of Uganda can be able to develop by engaging in productive activities like Agriculture, why can't we as the PWDs from Maracha also do it”, Mr Dicky reiterated as he hopes to end the culture of begging by PWDs.


Meanwhile, during the 37th Anniversary celebration of National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda (NUDIPU) last week 14-November-2024, the Union was able to award gifts to PWDs from some districts of Uganda for engaging in productive Agricultural activities, and a skyscraper building for the Union was also launched.
