must be allowed to move freely and to have access to health workers on sunday the tears visited on ebola treatment center he had this plea for all those affected i looked him up it was i appeal to all those who are undergoing treatment and to all those who were healed you have to be our spokes persons. you have to talk to all the people you know or to all your friends all the people in your village or in your city. for the outcome. for me mom everyone has to be told if there's even the slightest suspicion if they have to come get checked. but then this is any doubt they have to undergo the same treatment you have already had. now while the challenges communities are facing in the efforts to contain ebola is mistrust and misinformation some local people

believe ebola is a death sentence so they're not seeking treatment others like use health workers of spreading the virus intentionally next report the efforts of wiley. to set the record straight. humane bill is about to do something that many in this town in eastern congo would consider courageous even finish. he's on his way to take a mother and her child to the hospital even though both are showing symptoms of a bone. most would shun such contact hearing they may also contract the virus. but bill is unafraid. so i'm not scared. i've touched many a ball of patients gone they've i am cured which means i cannot give and take they

began said my lot. this is the 2nd biggest outbreak of ebola in history and authorities are struggling to contain it spread one reason is that some locals are suspicious of the doctors trying to help them even accusing them of using thermometers to infect them this is jimmying bill is on a mission to counter such stories he travels to local communities to promote understanding and to explain that a bowler can be cured with treatment but many locals remain skeptical. never in my life will i go to that ebola hospital friends of mine went there in good health but they never made it out alive yes. i have suffered but i'm still here i was just like you. like you know. when you have a fever they take you there then you're already. you see good that's what i'm cured but i now transport people you couldn't transport once you've been

cured you can't get the disease again. despite some resistance bill says he's determined to keep spreading the information. it takes time for people to understand the disease i'm living proof of that. is to prevent needless death. we all want to be employed and make money to pay the bills but in most parts of africa finding a job can be such a headache especially for passengers with disabilities social stigma discrimination and little or no efforts from government affecting many after a long fight by advocacy groups nigeria i'd use it's fast to discrimination law to improve job opportunities ability for people living with disabilities in generally there's yet correspondence allowed your career ports of lagos nigeria and how with

disability have been coping so far. 100 kilograms 114 these are the kinds of weights the power left it at the lego stadium sting all of the athletes have a physical disability they need to lift at least double their weight to enter a competition kingsley new can only started weightlifting a few months ago but he already knows that this is his sport. we've been through i guess. i'm going out there at the moment i don't have a job but. it of just being around to just go with it isn't just about the sport newton is training for his 1st interstate competition if he wins he could earn a cash prize or even get a job through the state which has said it would employ top performing athletes. it is a tough city for people with disabilities for newton commuting to his training and

his computer classes is like running an obstacle course. most of the city infrastructure isn't made for wheelchair uses his disability paskin from the vantage of not having to wait in line to pay for bus tickets but only the new city buses old really made to accommodate him. some other. disability but mom would share a song called talk about other possible doctors. but it doesn't. mean i might which are very difficult sometimes so it is a look that's the way that sometimes. all these challenges are addressed by a new nigerian law that came into effect in january 2019 the law states that transport systems and all public buildings should be made more accessible but also sets a quota so that companies hire more individuals with disabilities you can doesn't

think things will change soaked. clee. unity is not good it's something that something's going up already fast now for example look at some big some point these big companies not for people who deserve an easy to include including get into the indian structure of the b.b. so now for them to change the old beauty to accommodate people you deserve bt said if you come over ron is no business of those home when he's not at the gym you can spend his time at the inclusion of the digital workspace and learning center run by the n.-g. o. project enable which trains people with disabilities and software skills and also tries to put them in touch with potential employers the society is actually programmed to discrimination as to what they should as well taken it upon ourselves are beyond given them skews persons with disabilities cues we also actively find internship opportunities but the goal of that is to introduce persons with disabilities which are into the world of walk and also help employers see what

persons with disabilities can do you can hope that he can find work either through weightlifting or by using his digital skills even if he has a few more hurdles to cross. we just saw him in the report and now. joins us in the studio he is the founder of project enable in lagos nigeria hello many thanks for your time now you blame society for discriminating on stigmatizing persons with disabilities how that's your project addressed that. of course the basic thinking around the sublease here on the was deliberate that is the social model of disability and that is when we recognize that a society more disabling than the impairment that's precious we may be suffering and that's why it's just in every article we are doing everything possible to help persons with disabilities of our contemporary and i saw some years of work with the i see the way that to that platform through which buttons are deciding if you can

overcome the pyorrhea community have a good point and i can give you an example quickly in a country like nigeria and many other developing countries where transportation mean nothing political person with disabilities to go to work or education to see if they can leverage technology to go to what they can leverage technology to work remotely because they were technologists go to school and had to themselves so why wait for social inclusion to be in place totally we can likely never reach that knowledge b.s. because behind technology the ability doesn't want much else for there to be and one of the main challenges if we engage i.c.t. if ok sorry to cut you know one of the main challenges is of course i have find a new job the house your project to ensure that most of them are going to your hands get jobs. yeah the biggest promise of the development though is prosperity and you know the biggest challenge is poverty and it's not just enough

to keep persons with disabilities. they have to be able to walk so what we do up we just enable us to ensure that we have trained we help them find things which units so that's why he wants to have an experience of the war the war and then become the employers able to also understand and experience what's best is with disability comes with that as we in our strategy to equip them with use in practical it comically viable skills like quoting like 3 d. animation and the business and then we have them finding. them through the process sometimes with transports buy things and walkstation which we can use hard to find the usually everything from when we didn't play and play it ok now and generally as a law was passed in my day out so when shell companies hi i'm all passed with disabilities and us talk about this realistically how quickly can this happen. it takes a while it's one thing to have

a policy and another to for it to be implemented generally the lack of political will come be a challenge we do not think about it might just process one of those policies and then to make them both occur just enable africa we have launched a company called follow these this is from disability and we are using that company in 2 to 2 drives to report and track the progress made on that. in 2 days with the launch of the company when the company is lazy to decide enough what you talk to the government to ensure that the right thing is done would also be engaging private sector and public sector stakeholder us to help them know what to do sometimes we just don't know how to quit about this thing to a certain type of community in the society about the law and just tell them in practical ways on how to be implemented i would believe that we do this we defiantly as we do given by the local computer implementation people to achieve ok when coco found out for direct unable africa many found fail time. that's it for
