Read moreWe are trying to change this.
We have set up 6 disability-inclusive child rights clubs to enable children to fight for their rights.
We have enrolled 94 young children with disabilities into early childhood education.
We have registered 68 parents of children with disabilities into parent support groups.
Together with our partner Zambia Association of Parents for Children with Disabilities (ZAPCD), plans are underway to carry out a national review of the availability and accessibility of Early Childhood Education (ECE) services for children with disabilities in Zambia.
We will identify the common barriers children with disabilities face, what successful approaches for inclusive early childhood education in Zambia already exist, and what are perceived to be the most sustainable solutions for furthering inclusive early childhood education in the current context.
We are looking forward to including children with disabilities themselves, parents of children with disabilities, community leaders, Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), government officials, teachers, and other education professionals in our research.
Following our new partnership in Zambia, we are looking for funding for a project that seeks to improve access to quality Inclusive Early Childhood Education for Children with disabilities in partnership with our partner Zambia Association of Parents for Children with Disabilities (ZAPCD).
