Millennium Fellowship Project: Zivo
My project is launching will be focused on the educational-legal side of things. This "Zivo" project aims to inform and educate people's living with disabilities their rights and how the law protects them. I will be working as a mini legal clinic teaching both children and adults of the " Disability Act" . This will help you eradicate the lack of knowledge of the law that seeks to protect them , inform of them of legal services available to those that will ever need them and enquip affected individuals of their rights and how to ensure that they are uphold in the society. This project will also open up a channel of feedback on how people living with disabilities are being affected by policies and how best policies can be tailor made to ensure equality before the law and equal representations.

She has always been the child that signed up for new clubs at school and this is how she became a child rights activist from as early as Grade 4. As far as she can remember she has been around deaf children and adults all her life and somehow now that she is in college she couldn't find seem to find one at her college and this is why she is fighting for inclusivity in all sectors so that individuals with disabilities aren't left behind.
