Impi yase-Ukraine onyakeni odlule ibe nomthelela omubi kwabakhubazekile nasebekhulile. Lezi zibalo zingase zibe sengcupheni ikakhulukazi phakathi nezingxabano kanye nezinkinga zobuntu, njengoba zibeka engcupheni yokushiywa noma yokuphucwa izinsiza ezibalulekile, okuhlanganisa nezinsiza ezisekelayo. Abantu abakhubazekile kanye nabalimele bangathembela kubuchwepheshe bokusiza (AT) ukuze balondoloze ukuzimela nesithunzi sabo, nokudla, ukukhucululwa kwendle nokunakekelwa kwezempilo.
Ukuze isize i-Ukraine ihlangabezane nesidingo sokwelashwa okwengeziwe, i-WHO, ngokubambisana noMnyango Wezempilo wase-Ukraine, isebenzisa iphrojekthi yokuhlinzeka ngokudla okubalulekile kwabantu abafudukezwe ngaphakathi ezweni. Lokhu kwenziwa ngokuthengwa nokusatshalaliswa kwamakhithi akhethekile e-AT10, ngalinye liqukethe izinto ezingu-10 ezihlonzwe njengezidingeka kakhulu abantu base-Ukraine ezimeni eziphuthumayo. Lawa makhithi ahlanganisa izinsiza zokuhamba ezifana nezinduku, izihlalo zabakhubazekile ezinamaphedi okusiza ukucindezela, izinduku nezinqola, kanye nemikhiqizo yokunakekela umuntu efana namasethi e-catheter, izinto zokuthi incontinence absorber, nezihlalo zangasese kanye neshawa.
Lapho impi iqala, uRuslana nomkhaya wakhe banquma ukungayi endlini yezintandane engaphansi kwesakhiwo esiphakeme. Kunalokho, bacasha endlini yangasese, lapho ngezinye izikhathi izingane zilala khona. Isizathu salesi sinqumo ukukhubazeka kwendodana kaRuslana Klim eneminyaka engu-14 ubudala. Ngenxa ye-cerebral palsy kanye ne-spastic dysplasia, akakwazi ukuhamba futhi uhamba ngesihlalo sabakhubazekile. Izindiza eziningana zezitebhisi zavimbela osemusha ukuba angene endaweni yokukhosela.
Njengengxenye yephrojekthi ye-AT10, u-Klim uthole isihlalo sokugezela sesimanje, esilungiseka ukuphakama kanye nesihlalo sabakhubazekile esisha sha. Isihlalo sakhe esinamasondo sangaphambilini besindala, singafaneleki futhi sidinga ukunakekelwa ngokucophelela. “Uma sikhuluma iqiniso sisathukile nje. Akunangqondo neze,” kusho uRuslana ngesihlalo esinamasondo sikaKlim esisha. “Awazi ukuthi kungaba lula kangakanani ngengane ukuhambahamba uma inethuba kusukela ekuqaleni.”
I-Klim, ithola ukuzimela, ibilokhu ibalulekile emndenini, ikakhulukazi kusukela uRuslana ajoyina umsebenzi wakhe we-inthanethi. I-AT yenza kube nokwenzeka kubo. URuslana wathi: “Ngehlisa umoya ngokwazi ukuthi ubengalali ngaso sonke isikhathi. UKlim waqala ukusebenzisa isihlalo esinamasondo esemncane futhi sashintsha impilo yakhe. “Uyakwazi ukuginqika aphendule isihlalo sakhe kunoma iyiphi indawo. Ukwazi nokuvula i-nightstand ukuze athole amathoyizi akhe. Ubekwazi ukuyivula kuphela ngemva kwekilasi lokujima, kodwa manje usezenzela uma ngisesikoleni.” Umsebenzi. Ngabona ukuthi waqala ukuphila ukuphila okwanelisa kakhudlwana.”
U-Ludmila unguthisha wezibalo osethathe umhlalaphansi oneminyaka engama-70 waseChernihiv. Naphezu kokuba nengalo eyodwa kuphela esebenzayo, uye wajwayela umsebenzi wasekhaya futhi ulondoloza isimo sengqondo esihle kanye nomuzwa wokuhleka. “Ngifunde ukwenza okuningi ngesandla esisodwa,” esho ngokuzethemba emamatheka kancane. “Ngingakwazi ukuwasha, ukuwasha izitsha ngisho nokupheka.”
Kodwa u-Lyudmila wayesahambahamba ngaphandle kokusekelwa umndeni wakhe ngaphambi kokuba athole isihlalo sabakhubazekile esibhedlela sendawo njengengxenye yephrojekthi ye-AT10. “Ngivele ngihlale ekhaya noma ngihlale ebhentshini elingaphandle kwendlu yami, kodwa manje sengiyakwazi ukuphuma ngiye edolobheni ngikhulume nabantu,” kusho yena. Uyajabula ngokuthi isimo sezulu siye saba ngcono futhi usengakwazi ukuhamba ngesihlalo sabakhubazekile lapho efika endaweni ahlala kuyo, okufinyeleleka kalula kuyo kunefulethi ledolobha lakubo. U-Ludmila uphinde akhulume ngezinzuzo zesihlalo sakhe esisha seshawa, esiphephile futhi esinethezekile kunesihlalo sokhuni sasekhishini ayesisebenzisa ngaphambili.
I-AT yaba nomthelela omkhulu ezingeni lempilo likathisha, okwamvumela ukuthi aphile ngokuzimela nangokunethezeka. “Yebo, umndeni wami ujabule futhi impilo yami isiba lula,” kusho yena.
