Sunday Olyel

Olyel, from Northern Uganda, is the Director of a disability rights organisation called PESA-Africa. Before the age of one, Olyel contracted polio which made both his legs powerless. As a result, Olyel was discriminated against by his community, fellow pupils at school, and even by his own family. His organisation, PESA-Africa (Persons with Special Abilities - Africa), promotes inclusion, education, advocacy, and employment for people with disabilities.
