Speaking during the launch Mr. Philip Nzenge, Deputy Director, Directorate of Children Services welcomed the launch of Xaidi saying “Children and young people with developmental disabilities are a large and growing population across the globe.

According to the UNICEF 2023 Global Report on Children with Developmental Disabilities, in 2019 there were approximately 317 million children and adolescents with health conditions that contribute to developmental disabilities globally. These children’s needs have however been neglected in health systems planning and policy provisions for health. I, therefore, commend iZola on launching the Xaidi App as this is in line with our mission of creating a barrier-free society of persons living with a disability.”
