Africa's home of assistive technology innovation & Research.

Senses Hub

200 million+ people in Africa live with disability (WHO). Only 1 in 10 who need assistive technology have access to it

Senses Hub is Africa's home of assistive technology innovation where persons with disabilities, researchers, engineers, clinicians, and policymakers come together to build technology that actually works for the continent. We are anchored in the fundamental belief that people with disabilities are entitled to participate fully in society, and that the solutions must come from within Africa, with Africa. From co-designing and testing assistive products with the people who use them, to training makers, distributing AT to underserved communities, and generating evidence that changes policy, we run the full cycle. What makes us different is that persons with disabilities are not just the beneficiaries here, they are the researchers, the innovators, the paid contributors, and the decision-makers.
