| Innovation Title | Ability4All Foundation |
| Focus Area | Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), including maternal health |
| Problem Statement: | The specific problem or challenge that Ability4All Foundation aims to address is the lack of advocacy for Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) among people living with disabilities, particularly young people. They are often left out of conversations and support systems related to SRHR and gender-based violence |
| Innovation Description: | The innovation proposed by Ability4All Foundation is to train young people living with disabilities in advocacy for their SRHR. This training will enable them to effectively communicate their needs, promote their rights, and participate fully in discussions and actions related to SRHR. The key features of this innovation include: Training: The foundation will provide comprehensive advocacy training to young people living with disabilities, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate for their SRHR effectively. |
| Uniqueness and Innovation: | What sets Ability4All Foundation apart from existing solutions is its unique focus on people living with disabilities. By specifically targeting this marginalized group, the foundation aims to empower them to advocate for their SRHR. This innovation recognizes the challenges faced by people living with disabilities in fully participating in discussions around SRHR and seeks to address these gaps through tailored advocacy training |
| Impact and Scalability: | The potential positive impact of this innovation is significant. It will give people living with disabilities a voice in discussions of SRHR and help them feel included and empowered. By training young people living with disabilities in advocacy, the foundation will also create pioneers and role models who can inspire and support others in their community. This initiative can be adopted on a larger scale by collaborating with organizations, government agencies, and NGOs working on SRHR and disability rights. By scaling up the training programs, resources, and support systems, the foundation can make a broader impact and reach a larger number of individuals living with disabilities. |
