Two siblings, Fulera Yahaya, 18 years, and Ibrahim Yahaya, 16 years, both with disabilities in Koforidua, Eastern Region of Ghana are defying all odds including lack of disability friendly education environment, and assistive devices, to pursue their dreams of becoming graphic designer, and bank Manager respectively. "I want to be a jeweler or a graphic designer," said Fulera. "I want to be a bank manager because I never see a disabled man who is working in a bank, so I want to become a bank manager so that I can set history for those who are unborn", stated Ibrahim.
Fulera, a Form Three Visual Arts student of Oti Boateng Senior High School in Koforidua, is determined to pursue her dream, but the lack of disability-friendly infrastructure and assistive devices making her journey a difficult task. "When I come to school, I don't eat plenty.
I know food that will eat which will not disturb my stomach.
I don't drink plenty of water either because I can't go out to visit the Washroom.
