Aguma Palace, Kasuwa Dare, Gwagwalada Area Council,
Abuja.
The Inclusive Skills Development Initiative (ISDI) successfully continued the implementation of its Laptop and Mobile Phone Repair Training Programme for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) at Aguma Palace, Kasuwa Dare, Gwagwalada Area Council,
Abuja.
The training programme is making a significant impact by equipping participants with practical, marketable technical skills in mobile phone and laptop repairs. Through this initiative, participants are gaining the knowledge and confidence needed to establish sustainable livelihoods, support their families, achieve greater independence, and contribute meaningfully to the economic development of their communities.
The programme is currently being implemented across four Area Councils of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT):
✅ Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC)
✅ Gwagwalada Area Council
✅ Bwari Area Council
✅ Kuje Area Council
ISDI staff and volunteers remain actively engaged in coordinating and facilitating the training to ensure participants receive quality, hands-on learning experiences.
Participants expressed their sincere appreciation to the Ford Foundation for its generous support in making this life-changing programme possible and for expanding opportunities for persons with disabilities across the FCT.

Expanding Digital Opportunities
Building on the success of the current programme, ISDI is preparing to launch an Online Digital Marketing Skills Training Programme in August 2026, which will benefit approximately 500 persons with disabilities.
Participants also expressed heartfelt gratitude to ISDI and the Ford Foundation, for investing in their future and creating opportunities that will improve their employability, increase their income potential, and promote independent living.
Through initiatives like this, ISDI continues to champion an inclusive society where persons with disabilities have equitable access to skills development, economic empowerment, and opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Together, we are building a future where no one is left behind.
