Daddy Owen, a Kenyan gospel singer, is using his platform to help people with disabilities. In 2012, he founded the Malaika Tribute Awards, which recognize the achievements of people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
Owen himself is visually impaired. He lost one eye when he was attacked by an angry mob during his teenage years. He says that the experience made him realize the challenges that people with disabilities face.<\/p>\n
