A Journey of Inclusion, Empowerment, and Triumph
October 2025
On a day defined by courage and trust, seventy persons living with disabilities (PWDs) from Ottobock Kenya completed a challenging 4-kilometre trek at Karura Forest, sending a powerful message of resilience and unity.
A Day of Breaking Boundaries
The trail to the iconic Karura waterfalls was steep, uneven, and demanding, but determination carried every participant forward. True to the day’s motto, No one left behind. PWDs walked side by side, proving that when camaraderie turns into strength, there are no limits. Not even the rumored python in Karura could dampen the spirit.
The reward? The thunderous roar of Karura waterfalls, the shared laughter and tears, and the joy of proving that limits exist only to be overcome. Every participant left the trail a little taller, a little braver, and a lot more inspired.
The day ended in celebration as trekkers gathered under the forest canopy to share stories, laughter, and snacks. For many, it was more than a walk, it was a declaration of possibility. A reminder that, together we are unstoppable!
