Moving to Kenya with a disability

The infrastructure in Kenya certainly doesn't support people with disabilities, particularly in terms of mobility issues.  Buildings rarely have ramped access and sometimes no lift (elevator).  Pavements (sidewalks) are often uneven at best and absent at worst.  For example in Nyeri, the town is on a hill, so pavements have large steps at regular intervals, as well as an absence of ramps, lowered kerbs and other useful infrastructure. 

Roadworks and holes in the road and pavements are not unusual, so someone with a visual impairment would be at risk, if not accompanied.

Public service vehicles are largely inaccessible, independently, for a wheelchair user and would be a challenge for someone with impaired mobility.  There are no level floor buses for example - they simply wouldn't cope with the roads.

If a person with a disability has an accident, due to a failure of the infrastructure, or falling down a hole, for example, the prevailing approach would be that 'you should have been accompanied'.
