ADD International supports organisations of disability activists to tackle discrimination so every disabled child gets the education and future they deserve. This appeal will primarily fund work in Sudan, based on learning from similar work in Tanzania and both will feature in appeal materials.

    Situation

    Denying disabled children an education causes lifelong harm. Without an education, they are deprived of the chance to learn, thrive, explore their passions or build futures filled with opportunity. Exclusion reinforces separation between disabled and non-disabled children and fuels the fear and misunderstanding of difference. Exclusion strengthens stigma that sees disabled children as a burden and leads them to a future of poverty, dependency and isolation. We seek to address all these barriers.

    Solution

    Shifting entrenched stigma is relentless work. In Tanzania and Sudan, we support disability activists to contact parents of disabled children to persuade them of the value of education and influence power holders to implement inclusive education policies. We work alongside them to make schools accessible, provide suitable learning materials and train teachers to address the needs of their disabled pupils.
