With just days to go before the Tokyo Paralympics, an international campaign called WeThe15 has been launched to improve the lives of the 1.2bn disabled people around the world.

Meet South African Eddie Ndopu. He is an internationally acclaimed writer, or 鈥渕over and shaker鈥�, who also works for the United Nations. Eddie, disabled himself, gives us the lowdown of WeThe15 on this podcast. You鈥檒l love him.

He also hopes to become the first disabled person in space. While he might have signed several NDAs on these 鈥渋mminent鈥� plans, Eddie couldn鈥檛 help but spill some of the secrets to 大象传媒 Ouch.

According to the World Health Organisation, 15% of the world鈥檚 population is disabled, hence WeThe15. Spearheaded by the International Paralympic Committee and International Disability Alliance, the project has brought together organisations from Unesco to The Valuable 500 big businesses for the first time.
