When we hear the word disabled, most of us set a scene of someone begging on the streets. We picture a world of unhappiness where all dreams are shattered.

Well, there are people who will not let their physical disability and the stigma that comes with it deters them from achieving their dreams.

Margaret Masilla refused to let her disability shape her destiny. She is a beneficiary of the Madhvani Scholarships at Kampala International University and a representative of students with disabilities.
