Action Network for the Disabled (ANDY), formerly known as Kenya Disabled Action Network (KEDAN) is a Kenyan Non Governmental Organization formed by and for youth with disabilities. It is duly registered with the Government of Kenya through the NGO Board under certificate number OP.218/051/2009/0321/5909.
ANDY is dedicated to achieving equality, inclusion and empowerment of youth with disability in Kenya. ANDY seeks to mainstream this group into all aspects of daily life – unfortunately yet far from common in Kenyan society. ANDY is a unique initiative that provides an inspiring environment for people with different types of disabilities – and people without disabilities - to work together. |

“ Socially, morally and intellectually, it is wrong to exclude one in ten of the world’s population from mainstream social, economic and political life. Always remember that the apartheid regime tried to block out the black majority in South Africa, but with devastating consequences. We should learn from history.”
