Funded Projects
Screen for All
The Disability Inclusion Africa project funded Screen for All: An Inclusive Film Day for People with Disabilities through its small grants scheme.
This inclusive film day for people with disabilities was held at La Maison Petit Jo Cameroun, Monatélé, Central Region, Cameroon. Its theme was ‘Living your disability like an able person’.
The day was a complete success, with enthusiastic participation from people with disabilities, their families and industry professionals. The day was filled with film screenings, discussions on the theme and other activities.
The day was very positively evaluated by the participants, who appreciated the quality of the screenings, the themes addressed in the films, the richness of discussions and the variety of activities. Participants also emphasised the importance of this initiative in promoting inclusion and raising awareness of the needs of people with disabilities.
The event brought together more than 20 participants, 35% of whom were people with disabilities.

Demystifying albinism in Sierra Leone
This project brought together the expertise of Medical Assistance Sierra Leone, the Sierra Leone Albinism Association, and Professor Charlotte Baker (Lancaster University) to challenge misconceptions about albinism in Sierra Leone. The project used interviews and photography to create an awareness campaign to promote better understanding of albinism, reduce stigma and enable people with albinism to take basic measures to improve their health outcomes. The project was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (UK).
