Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. The Founder and President of Disabled International Foundation UK/Sierra Leone, Dr. Imambay Kamara, presented awards of recognition to Sierra Leone High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, H.E. Dr. Morie Komba Manyeh, and Deputy High Commissioner Mrs. Yvonne King Odigboh at the Sierra Leone High Commission in London.
The presentation was made on Monday, September 15 2025, during a courtesy call on the diplomats in recognition of their invaluable support and steadfast commitment to the work of her Foundation.
She praised their encouragement and support for the rights and welfare of persons with disabilities, noting that their leadership continues to inspire her and her team in redoubling efforts towards inclusion and empowerment both in Sierra Leone and the United Kingdom.
The visit comes shortly after Disabled International Foundation’s 25th Anniversary Silver Jubilee celebrations, marking a quarter-century of service and advocacy. Over the years, the Foundation has played an important role in Sierra Leone, where it has built schools, cared for orphans, and provided essential support for persons living with disabilities. Its mission continues to focus on education, empowerment, and dignity for some of society’s most vulnerable.
In his remarks, High Commissioner Dr. Manyeh commended Dr. Kamara and her organisation for their tireless service:
“Disabled International Foundation has been a shining light for Sierra Leone. Through its schools, care programmes, and advocacy, it has touched countless lives and given hope to the most vulnerable in our society”. The High Commissioner went on to appreciate Dr. Imambay Kamara for her “vision and resilience”, and assured her of the High Commission’s continued support as she leads this noble cause.
Deputy High Commissioner Mrs. Yvonne King Odigboh added:
“We are deeply honoured to receive this recognition. The work of Disabled International Foundation reflects the best of Sierra Leone’s spirit — compassion, dedication, and service”. Mrs. Yvonne King praised Dr. Imambay Kamara for her work in helping “to uplift and empower” the disabled and other vulnerable Sierra Leoneans.
The brief but symbolic ceremony underscored the strong collaboration between the Sierra Leone High Commission and the Disabled International Foundation in advancing opportunities and protection for persons with disabilities.
