Our partnership

ANDY (then called KEDAN) became a partner with Able Child Africa in 2007. Our early projects together included strategic organisational development for ANDY’s youth advocacy work with children with disabilities in Nairobi and a sport for inclusive livelihoods project that worked with Paralympians to design an inclusive sports programme for young people with disabilities. In 2014, ANDY expanded their work to include children as well as young people with disabilities.

Able Child Africa was involved in this transition period, providing ANDY with input and advice on the inclusion of children in their new organisational strategy and delivering a series of workshops and training with staff to develop and operationalise their new child safeguarding policy. Able Child Africa continues to support ANDY with organisational development alongside the projects that we deliver together.

Working towards a common vision over the last 10 years, our journey with Able Child Africa has seen us reach greater heights and enabled us to impact more children.
