My names are Omary Ramadhani
Msumi, I am 43 years old living in Dundani village Mkuranga district Coastal
region.
I got impairment in 1991 when I was attacked by disease in God graces I
lost my eyes. To be honest my life is not good together with my family we
depend on agriculture for our daily bread.
I have been facing several
life challenges including; transportation from one point to another, economic
hardship is the barrier towards addressing some problems facing my family. Most
of the time when I face challenges the only thing I do is to use my energy
depending on the situation to deal with them. Due to our life situation we are
working tirelessly to make sure we address challenges.
I have tried to pass in
different administrative office from local to central government so as to get
support, but I got nothing than disappointments.
I had several dreams in my
life: First was to build the mosque for
community worship so as to get God graces in this life and the life after.
Secondly, I wished to have a sustainable income to support my family by making
them have a standard life. Those are my dreams and God knows what comes next if
I will reach them or not.
I have not given up my
dreams since I know God is there and will remain there, though I am in this
condition but I still believe I can make it with God graces.
There are some challenges
which are direct connected to domestic needs such as supporting my children
education needs, also maintaining good health of my family by making sure they
access health care and so forth. I am proud of my family because they love and
care for me.
My suggestion to the
government and the community at large is that, they have to find and expose us
wherever we are. We have a lot to tell, we are talented, we can produce and be
useful to our society only we need is support. We can be good animal keepers as
well as business person.
This will make many PWDs not
to give up their lives because most of them do give up because they don’t know
where they are going. So I call for all stakeholders to search for PWDs and get
their views and I appreciate your coming.
