Celebrating Empowerment: SFE marks National Disability Day in Laos

To mark National Disability Day in Laos on 30 January, SFE organised a lively sports day focused on community and connection. The event brought together people with disabilities and their families, alongside local authorities and our healthcare partners. We were delighted to see around one hundred people attend this inaugural edition.

The day’s programme featured a variety of activities designed to bring everyone together:

• Inclusive games and wheelchair racing.
• Football matches and karaoke.
• Awareness-raising sessions on hearing impairments.

This significant event, centred on the spirit of sharing, helped to strengthen the bonds between participants and promote a better understanding of everyone’s abilities.

« We hope that the stone we have all laid together will not be one that builds a wall that divides, but rather one that builds a home that brings people together.” — Mathias B., SFE physiotherapist
