Mission

An estimated 98% of disabled children in Africa remain out of school. They have been missed by the great advances in access to education across the continent in recent decades and fallen through the net. AbleChildAfrica works to address the barriers to their inclusion, strengthening systems of referral for medical support and disability aids, improving the physical infrastructure of schools, dispelling damaging myths about disability and advocating with local service providers to make services more inclusive. AbleChildAfrica's work is highly effective and typically the children with disabilities we help to get enrolled in schools have similar attendance rates to their non-disabled peers despite the challenges they have to overcome.

Additional Information

We would be interested to hear from you whatever skills you have to offer as we have extremely limited marketing and communications resources in house and so there is lots of scope for professionals in this area to have an impact. Please get in touch ASAP on anna@ablechildafrica.org.uk Please help and enable disabled children in Africa in a very practical and useful way. We have lots of stories to tell that can be used to help inspire our target audience about the importance and enormous value of our work to those we help.
