INTERNATIONAL DEAF AWARENESS MONTH
Day 9 September 2026

ARE WE THERE YET??".....

*Are we there yet?*
The dawn is gone
The day is born, setting a tone
The tone of hope, hope for groaning
So gray and no way
The path seems dead...are we there yet?

Yes they decided and accepted we exist
Existence not by default
But deformed in human mind and eyes
Weighed by mind and labelled by the fingers
Classified by law
Selected by vision
Grouped by organisations
Considered by act of Parliament
That indeed we exist
Existing without the priorities of the society
Existing through sympathetic syndrome
The syndrome of laws seemingly in place to canvassing and policing the rights of us

Are we there yet?
I'm asking the persons with walking canes, are we there yet to smile as we read through the poem lines in braille?
I'm asking my dear friends who are Deaf, are we there yet that we can jump around and dance to the songs with sign language and subtitles?
I'm asking the parents of children with Intellectual disability, are we there yet that we can live in the society that embraces the conditions of our brothers and sisters with down syndrome, cerebral palsy and offer smiles?

I'm asking you my brothers and sisters with skin conditions that have led us into cages of refuge, are we there yet to safely say this is the better world? The world for all?
I'm asking my fellows in wheels, wheels of hope, are we there yet that we can dance around and say this is the accessible society and environment? Can we get to the top, second and third floors and meet with the one we are looking for? Can we go into shops to dare the fashion world as we park normally on our slots?

I know, you know we all know
Darkness is the absence of light
Are we there yet to smile and say there is absence of darkness in the way of persons with disabilities? Darkness of psychological wars
Darkness of physical barriers
Darkness of security
Darkness of economic hardships
Darkness of inaccessibility
Darkness of poor health services
Darkness of Disability rights
Darkness of lack of political will

Are we there yet?

TSOGOLA BOARD AND STAFF

We will miss the moment we shared with the late Wilson Ellard Katanda on Deaf Education. His hardwork and dedication was one of the Fastidious STEPS that shaped the Deaf Community.

You never rested, even when you retired. You continued to advocate for the Deaf to access quality education through Sign Language for inclusivity for all.

Rest well mr Katanda

EMPOWERING FEMINIST NETWORKS THROUGH DISABILITY INCLUSION

Today as we commence the International Deaf awareness month of September 2026, we are very happy to close August with avery fine report of our one last activity of the month which we have had.
On Friday, Tsogolo Lowala Deaf Foundation joined other stakeholders for an important discussion on "Empowering Feminist Networks: Strengthening Disability Inclusion Approaches to Ending Violence Against Women and Girls.”

The discussion created a valuable space to reflect on the importance of making feminist movements and efforts to end violence against women and girls more inclusive of persons with disabilities. Participants shared experiences and explored ways of strengthening knowledge on disability rights, gender equality and intersectionality, while also building the capacity of organisations to meaningfully include disability in their work.

The discussion also emphasised the importance of collaboration between feminist organisations and disability rights organisations. By working together, we can strengthen advocacy, amplify the voices of women and girls with disabilities, and ensure that no one is left behind in the fight against violence.

As Tsogolo Lowala Deaf Foundation, we remain committed to promoting an inclusive society where the rights, voices and participation of Deaf people and persons with disabilities are recognised and respected.
