What We Do

AbleChildAfrica specialises exclusively in advocating for and supporting disabled children and disabled young people in Africa.  We want to see a world in which all disabled children are able to achieve their full potential and fully participate in the world around them.  In order to achieve this we support partner organisations to carry out life changing work with disabled children and disabled young people and work alongside them to use their experiences and learning to campaign for more widespread change in attitudes and practice.

One of the key issues we are concerned about is the fact that as many as 98% of disabled children in Africa still do not go to school. To read more abou this download our Education Leaflet >>

We are currently working with 5 partner organisations in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania.

• In Uganda we work with Uganda Society for Disabled Children
• In Kenya we work with ANDY and Little Rock
• In Tanzania we work we ICD and Child Support Tanzania

We provide our partner with a range of support including money, advice, support with systems and communication development and learning opportunities.  More information about the specific projects we are working on will be posted here soon.
