Bamboo Rock & DiSA Partnership
Disability info South Africa (DiSA) was started in 2015 by Alan Downey when he realised that there was still an urgent need for a free information service to assist and support persons with disabilities and their families. Through the support over the years from various organisations, companies and clubs such as Bamboo Rock, we have been able to create a link between persons with disabilities and the companies, clubs and organizations that are available to assist them. More recently, DiSA has identified a need to become more than an Information and Support Service but also provide platforms to help Identify, Address and Remove barriers to an inclusive, accessible South Africa. By creating a link with other reputable like minded companies, clubs and organizations, we aim to create a better accessible future for all.
With this in mind, we have approached various current members of DiSA, including Bamboo Rock to join us and other Access Warriors in this journey to “Light a way to an Inclusive Society!” With assistance from all Access Warriors who have joined our Accessible Cities South Africa (AC-SA) platform, we aim to become a stronger force working together to help break down barriers, creating a level playing field – to enable all persons with disabilities to participate equally in society.
Bamboo Rock offer a variety of Services to assist persons with disabilities to become active members of society. By listing there service below and promoting them through our AC-SA platform with other Access Warrior – Service Providers and their services that they provide, we aim to ensure that all the pieces of the puzzle are in place to provide a complete Accessible Solution.

Current and Future Plans
Only through inclusive environments can some persons with disabilities take part equally in society. “An impairment is any temporary or permanent loss or abnormality of a body structure or function, whether physical or psychological”. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the “White Paper on the rights for persons with disabilities”, “Disability is imposed by society when a person with a physical, psychosocial, intellectual, neurological and/or sensory impairment is denied access to full participation in all aspects of life, and when society fails to uphold the rights and specific needs of individuals with impairments.”
With this in mind, we at DiSA aim to continue to create awareness for the creation of inclusive environments through partnerships with Access Warriors such as Bamboo Rock. We will continue to promote their services that they supply through our Accessible Cities Platform and create awareness for the needs of accessible and inclusive environments through our YouTube Videos, interviews and webinars, highlighting the benefits of using Universal Access Consultants during the design phase to ensure that no persons with disabilities, are excluded from society.
Accessible environments are so much more than just a ramp, only through the services that companies and organizations such as those that Bamboo Rock provides, can we truly create environments free of barriers. No company, organisation or person is an island, we all need to work together to promote real change for this to happen – This is our goal as Access Warriors!
