Why we walk

Disability is not inability.

The CoRSU Walk began in 2024 to raise awareness of people with disability and to raise funds for their surgery and rehabilitation. It also carries a message: disability is not inability, it can be treated, and everyone should be made to feel part of the community.

Government ministries, donor and civil society partners, businesses, schools and private individuals have all taken part.

“Over 600 people braved the morning downpour to join the CoRSU Walk.”
