7. VHIGHANA was found in the year 1999 by Disabled people to
fight issues that militate
against People With Disabilities.
HOW WE GOT STARTED We informed all interested persons with
developmental disabilities in the area, initially very few people with
need children showed interest but as we kept meeting regularly, we are now many.
WHY we thought it was prudent
we formed the VHIsGHANA because, we
needed to develop common and stronger front which can be used to channel our concern(s)
to the appropriate authorities for support since, PWDs were hugely marginalized
in Northern Region of Ghana.

placed enormous importance in matters of disabled women’s progress, and has
