#OFMFamilyFocus - Living Limitless with Disability Info SA─── 08:15 Wed, 25 May 2022
Mid-Morning Magic's Yolanda Maartens chats with Alan Downey, Founder and Executive Director of Disability Info South Africa (DiSA) about the services they offer and more.
Disability info South Africa (DiSA) was started in 2015 by Alan to provide a Free Disability Information Portal which not only gives easy access to information via their website, but also through their free contact centre, offering advice and guidance to those in need.
Listen to Yolanda and Alan's conversation below:
Yolanda and Alan also had a chat about the "Accessible cities" initiative and what it means to be a member. Accessible Cities-South Africa (AC-SA) is the third of the four pillars which fall under the DiSA umbrella. AC-SA was formed to create awareness for the need for inclusive environments and to promote and showcase the partnerships that DiSA has formed. Their aim is to promote and help build a truly Accessible South Africa for all persons with disabilities.
