Empowering Dreams: KDE Disability Africa Foundation Celebrates Second Graduation Ceremony
The KDE Disability Africa Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering individuals with disabilities, celebrated its second graduation ceremony in Monrovia, Liberia, on July 28, 2024. The event marked a significant milestone in the foundation’s mission to provide technical and vocational education to women with disabilities in Liberia.
Sixteen individuals, including four women with physical disabilities, graduated from KDE’s vocational training program in Tailoring and Fashion Design, Soap Production, and Computer Technology. This achievement demonstrates the foundation’s commitment to inclusivity and empowerment. Since 2021, the foundation has trained over 60 students, providing them with the skills and confidence to succeed in their chosen fields.
The ceremony was attended by Honorable Samuel Dean, Executive Director of the National Commission on Disabilities (NCD) Liberia, who served as the guest speaker and chief fundraiser. Mr. Melvin Harding, National Vice President for Administration, National Union of Organizations of the Disabled (NUOD), also attended the ceremony and pledged 10,000 Liberty (equivalent to $50 US dollars).
In his address, Mr. Dean praised the graduates for their courage and determination, saying, “These graduates have demonstrated that they are not dependents, but leaders who have unlocked their potential through technical and vocational education.” Mr. Dean also acknowledged the dedication of the teachers, whose tireless efforts have empowered the students.
Mr. Dean announced an initial contribution of 10,000 Liberty on behalf of the National Commission on Disabilities and himself to support the foundation’s mission. Lydia Essifie, the Manager of KDE Disability Africa Foundation in Liberia, encouraged the graduates to continue learning and never resort to begging. She also highlighted the challenges faced by the foundation, including transportation and accessibility barriers, and called for support to continue providing free education and vocational training to those who need it most.
The graduation was held at International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC – Liberia) where KDE’s training program is located. This location donation was made under the leadership of Rev. Habakkuk Giah, General Overseer, IPHC Liberia.
Founded by Kimma Wreh and Boniface Ihiasota, the KDE Disability Africa Foundation plays a pivotal role in empowering individuals with disabilities in Liberia through education and vocational training, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable society.

Elon Musk’s $1 Million Giveaway Under DOJ Investigation for Potential Legal Violations
Elon Musk’s recent $1 million giveaway has drawn attention from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), which is reportedly scrutinizing the legality of the contest. This giveaway, widely promoted on social media, promised substantial cash prizes to select followers but has now raised concerns about compliance with federal sweepstakes laws. The DOJ’s focus is on whether the giveaway followed proper disclosures and legal requirements, including fair entry rules and transparency. This legal scrutiny adds a new layer of complexity to Musk’s ventures, as he continues to attract both media and regulatory attention with high-profile initiatives. The case underscores the importance of adhering to regulations, even in promotional activities led by influential public figures. The outcome could impact future online giveaways hosted by prominent personalities.
