2.5 billion people worldwide need adapted equipment — wheelchairs, hearing aids, glasses, and more — to live independently. A UN resolution aims at strengthening their access to it.
At twelve years old, Rogette is a shy and endearing young girl. She now lives in Ziguinchor so that she can study at a special school for children who are deaf.
In Ziguinchor, Dieynaba Coly, a teaching assistant, supports deaf pupils. Thanks to her support, they are able to follow lessons, make progress and thrive both at school and at home.
