When We Remove Barriers, Ability Shows Up | Mechack Rwampungu | TEDxKigali

In this TEDx talk, Mechack Rwampungu challenges perceptions of disability by showing how barriers—not limitations—restrict potential. He illustrates how inclusive design, access, and opportunity allow talent to emerge, urging societies to remove structural obstacles so that ability, creativity, and contribution can fully thrive for everyone. Mechack Rwampungu is a Rwandan wheelchair basketball player and disability inclusion advocate. He is the founder of Sports on Wheels, an initiative that uses sport to create access, confidence, and opportunity for people with disabilities.

In 2015, a road accident changed his life and left him using a wheelchair. What could have ended his journey instead reshaped it. Through wheelchair basketball, Mechack found purpose again and later became captain of Rwanda’s Men’s National Wheelchair Basketball Team.
Today, his work focuses on changing how society sees disability by showing what is possible when people are given the right support and space to thrive. His story is rooted in resilience, honesty, and the belief that inclusion is not charity, but opportunity. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
