Read moreWe have enrolled 370 children with disabilities into mainstream inclusive education.
We have engaged over 1,300 community members through disability awareness events.
We have modified 9 mainstream schools to improve accessibility, including the creation of three inclusive libraries for children with disabilities.
On the back of our Inclusive Education project in Mbeya, we have been working as part of a national consortium with the Tanzanian government to input into the National Strategy for Inclusive Education. Specifically, our focus has been on ensuring that the child-to-child approach is included in the strategy. To ensure this inclusion and in consultation with the Ministry of Education, we have designed a child-to-child inclusive education teachers guide working with local and international inclusive education experts. Once signed off by the national government, we aim to scale the take-up of this guide across Tanzania.
