Africa is one of the least developed continents with a larger population of people living with intellectual disability. Various literature shows that having a person with disability is more of a taboo or curse as communities continue to hide them. Infrastructure developments are not making life easier for people living with disability (PWD). During COVID-19, PWD are left behind from communications, online learning, and online business; they are not given personal protective equipment, and those are some of the things that continue to cripple the rights of PWD who continuously feel left behind
