World Social Work Day 2026 💫

Today we celebrate World Social Work Day and this year’s powerful theme: “Co-Building Hope and Harmony: A Harambee Call to Unite a Divided Society.”

To all of you working in the disability space … thank you 🙏

Every day you show up with compassion, professionalism, and a deep commitment to the people and families we support. Your work often happens quietly, behind the scenes, but the impact is profound.

You help people feel seen.
You help people find their voice.
You help create connection, dignity, and opportunity where it matters most.

Social work reminds us that real change happens in relationships … when we stand alongside people, listen deeply, and work together to build something better.

Today I want to acknowledge the heart you bring to this work and the hope you help create every single day.

Thank you for the difference you make in the lives of others and for the care you show one another as a team.

Together, we truly are co-building hope and harmony.
Deb Field,
Proud Social Worker and Engedi Allied Health Manager
