âA love letter to people with disabilitiesâ
Meet Eddie Ndopu, one of the people behind WeThe15.
With just days to go before the Tokyo Paralympics, an international campaign called WeThe15 has been launched to improve the lives of the 1.2bn disabled people around the world.
Meet South African Eddie Ndopu. He is an internationally acclaimed writer, or âmover and shakerâ, who also works for the United Nations. Eddie, disabled himself, gives us the lowdown of WeThe15 on this podcast. Youâll love him.
He also hopes to become the first disabled person in space. While he might have signed several NDAs on these âimminentâ plans, Eddie couldnât help but spill some of the secrets to ±«Óătv Ouch.
According to the World Health Organisation, 15% of the worldâs population is disabled, hence WeThe15. Spearheaded by the International Paralympic Committee and International Disability Alliance, the project has brought together organisations from Unesco to The Valuable 500 big businesses for the first time.
Presented by Beth Rose and Emma Tracey.
