What is it Like Being Disabled in Kenya?

What life is like for people with disabilities in Kenya. Nuala McGovern visits a disabled school in Nairobi and speaks to children, their parents, teachers and carers.

What lies behind people's attitudes to disability in Kenya and east Africa? And what can be done to change them?
