SID is recognized at the Kumasi leadership and SDG award ceremony


Strength in Disability (SID) KNUST has been formally acknowledged for its substantial contribution to societal development in the area of advocacy and support for persons with disabilities (PWDs)

The president for SID KNUST, Mr Frederick Osei, represented the organization at the recent Kumasi Leadership and SDG Award ceremony held at the Law Auditorium of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi.

The event was organized  by Extra Mile Ghana to appreciate the efforts of individuals and organizations who are making significant contributions in their communities.

SID KNUST particularly merited the award due its commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 10, which seeks to reduce inequalities. SID's main focus was centered on helping to minimize inequalities between the disabled and the non-disabled.

SID KNUST has embarked on many life-changing outreaches and is set to launch a movie which addresses issues of disability and its related matters; alongside an upcoming conference.

SID first started as a project by KNUST students and their partners from other institutions in Ghana before eventually becoming an organization.
