Light for the World is a global disability & development organisation, enabling eye health
services and empowering people with disabilities in some of the poorest regions of the world.
We want to break down unjust barriers to unlock the biggest potential! We aim at systems
change, because we want our impact to last. We work with partners, because together we are
stronger

In Uganda, Light for the World started operating in the early 2000s. Our work in Uganda
focuses on two thematic areas: Economic Empowerment, and Child Eye Health. Our
innovative disability inclusion work focuses on young people with disabilities, their right to
inclusion and ensuring improved socio-economic standards of living.
The Make 12.4% Work Initiative brings together key stakeholders to create enabling
environments for inclusive economic growth, allowing people with disabilities to fully access
the job market. This programme is led by trained young people with disabilities called Disability
Inclusion Facilitators. Disability Inclusion Facilitators (DIFs) through a systematic capacity
development programme, the Disability Inclusion Academy. The DIFs are trained to support
inclusive skills development, inclusive governance, inclusive employment, and
entrepreneurship.

Other projects and programs that support our work on economic empowerment are
Mainstreaming Ambition: Vulnerable Youth in Business – the project aims at facilitating access
to employment; in both the formal and informal sector for young women and men with
disabilities. We Are Able! - designed to empower, amplify voices, and create resilience among
people with disabilities (PWDs) and other excluded groups, particularly those faced with food
insecurity in areas of protracted crises and Leave No One Behind: the project aims to
contribute to humanitarian and long-term measures (in line with a humanitarian-development
nexus approach) to combat COVID-19 and its impact on affected vulnerable people and target
communities in South Sudan and Uganda.
We further run the Child Eye Health Programme (123 I Can See) - which aims at increasing
access to eye health, starting at a community level through strengthening and equipping
health systems by raising awareness, detection, and referral of people with visual impairments.
