In a significant step toward strengthening partnerships that foster inclusion and advocacy, Pleo ReachOut Organisation CIC proudly paid a courtesy visit to Mr. David O. Anyaele, the distinguished Chairman of the Abia State Commission for People with Disabilities, Nigeria. This engagement represents more than a formal courtesy call—it marks the deepening of collaborative efforts to uplift, empower, and amplify the voices of persons living with disabilities both locally and globally.
Advancing Inclusion Through Strategic Partnerships
Pleo ReachOut CIC is driven by a mission to create an inclusive society where individuals with disabilities are not only supported, but valued, respected, and equipped to live dignified lives. The meeting with Mr. Anyaele underscores this mission, as he is widely recognized as one of the foremost advocates for disability rights in Nigeria. His longstanding commitment and leadership has contributed greatly to the strengthening of policies and accessibility frameworks across the nation.
Engaging directly with a leader of such influence allows Pleo ReachOut to align efforts and strategies toward shared objectives—especially in the areas of policy advocacy, care pathways, community support, employment inclusion, and empowerment programs.
