Bahir Dar University, 18/08/2018

The support includes desktop computers, printers, Braille paper, audio recorders, and other essential learning materials. The materials were officially handed over by ECDD Executive Director Dr. Getahun Simeon to Bahir Dar University Director of Disability Support and Services, Dr. Solomon Demis.

According to Dr. Getahun Simeon, the ECDD project aims to identify students with disabilities and provide them with capacity-building opportunities and various forms of training to enhance their self-reliance and improve their access to employment opportunities.

The handover was completed after the donated materials were inspected by the University’s ICT experts and confirmed to be in proper working condition.

Bahir Dar University sincerely thanks ECDD for this valuable and timely support. The provision of these materials will contribute significantly to ensuring that students with disabilities have access to more inclusive and accessible education services, enabling them to participate more effectively in their studies and achieve better academic outcomes.
