Disability, Arts, Robotics, Technology, Safety & Sports

DARTSS is an initiative of the Agatha Obiageli Aghedo Memorial Foundation (AOAMF) designed to move disability inclusion from intention to practice.

Rooted in the philosophy of emplasism (intentional inclusion) DARTSS recognises that persons with disabilities have always had ability, creativity, and potential. What has been missing are systems deliberately designed to include them.

DARTSS responds to this gap by creating structured pathways where persons with disabilities can learn, create, compete, contribute, and earn across five critical human and economic domains:

• Arts
• Robotics
• Technology
• Safety
• Sports

This is not a charity programme. It is a skills, workforce, and empowerment framework.

Our Approach

DARTSS embeds inclusion from the start. We do not retrofit access or lower standards. Instead, we:

• Design training that anticipates difference
• Adapt tools without diluting excellence
• Build confidence alongside competence
• Create routes to paid work and self-sustenance

Ability is assessed by output, not diagnosis.

Why DARTSS Matters

Across Africa and beyond, many persons with disabilities are excluded not by inability, but by design. DARTSS challenges this by positioning disability inclusion as:

• A productivity strategy
• A dignity imperative
• A sustainable development pathway

Arts, technology, safety, and sports are industries. DARTSS ensures that persons with disabilities are not spectators, but participants and professionals within them.

Who We Work With

DARTSS works with:

• Children and young people with disabilities
• Underserved communities
• Schools and training centres
• Creative and technical professionals

Our beneficiaries are not recipients of pity. They are partners in purpose.

Call for Partnership

DARTSS thrives through collaboration.
We actively seek partnerships with organisations and individuals across diverse sectors who are ready to move beyond token inclusion into meaningful action.

We welcome collaboration from:

• Educational institutions
• Creative and performing arts organisations
• Technology and innovation companies
• Safety and emergency response bodies
• Sports clubs and federations
• Corporations with DEIB and CSR mandates
• Development partners and foundations

Whether through funding, expertise, equipment, mentorship, training, or employment pathways, your partnership can help build systems where inclusion is done properly.

Our Commitment DARTSS is not a project with an end date.
It is a practice.
A culture.
A way of life.

When inclusion is intentional, dignity is restored—and self-sustenance follows
