We also offer Interactive programs such as ‘Hike for Change’: People with disabilities (PWDs) face significant barriers in accessing the outdoors. Despite Mauritius’ stunning natural beauty, most parks, beaches and hiking trails are inaccessible. This not only limits physical and mental wellbeing, but also disconnects PWDs from environmental issues.
FMMH is committed to changing this. We have successfully organised similar events in the past, creating unforgettable experiences and fostering a sense of belonging for PWDs. Click for more details.
