Qatar Assistive Technology Center (Mada), a non-profit organization dedicated to connecting Persons with Disabilities (PWD) to the world of information and communication technology, has joined hands with Qatar University (QU) to provide assistive technology to disabled students on its campus. Mada provided the Assistive Technology at QU for its disabled student community.
“Education is one of the three key pillars of our mission at Mada, and many of our services revolve around this area,” said Maha Al Mansouri the CEO of Mada. “We believe that education has the potential to impact the PWD community in many ways. It is where the groundwork for social integration is laid, and it makes PWD and their communities aware that disabilities do not subtract from capabilities. We are honored to have made a meaningful imprint on the campus of Qatar University and to facilitate educational opportunities for students with disabilities.” Hamad Al Marri from Qatar University said “Since the launch of Mada services, I have noticed that it has become easier for students with disabilities to access assistive technologies.”
