Through a Disability Justice Lens: Building Resilience Amid Climate Change
Action Network for the Disabled (ANDY) is a national disability rights organization based in Nairobi County in Kenya . As a Disabled Persons’ Organization (DPO), ANDY is led by persons with disabilities and works to dismantle systemic barriers in education, health, livelihoods, and climate action. In Kisumu’s flood- and drought-prone sub-counties of Nyando and Kadibo, persons with disabilities face compounding harms during climate disasters—ranging from displacement and mobility challenges to deepened social isolation and mental health trauma. ANDY is one of the few organizations in the region addressing climate change through a disability justice lens.
