85% of children with disabilities in Tanzania are outside the education system, with more and more children dropping out due to the lack of support for children with disabilities, which is severely lacking and poorly resourced.

We are proud of

Network Member Child Support Tanzania (CST) has realised the construction of their new inclusive Early Childhood Education school in Mbeya, Tanzania with support from Able Child. This model inclusive-school consists of accessible classrooms, toilets, and a bespoke physiotherapy unit. The development of the school has led to the development of a physiotherapy and occupational therapy programme at the school, as well as training for parents at home.

Here, parents have received vital support to perform basic exercises with their children, which prevents children with disabilities from missing school and therefore reduces the inequalities that exist between children with and without disabilities. Through the lessons from these inclusive education projects at Child Support Tanzania, we continue we have been able to develop evidence of what works best for children with disabilities in schools, and incorporate this into projects in neighbouring mainstream schools.
