Much-changed Kukundakwe sets time targets for Paris

“Without swimming, I would not be where I am today,” para-swimmer Husnah Kukundakwe said as a keynote speaker at Unesco’s International Disability Inclusion Conference in Paris, France on Wednesday.

The conference is a ministerial forum, whose main theme of discussion was harnessing the transformational impact of para-sport.

Kukundakwe, who was born without the lower right hand while her left hand has only three complete fingers, retold her popular story of how she broke out at three and “did not realize until I was five that I was disabled.”
