Disabled people continue to comprise the poorest and worst-served group in the world.

The greater the level of general poverty in any community, the worse the conditions are for the disabled people who live there - especially disabled children and young people. To put it another way - disabled children in the poorest communities are the most disadvantaged people on our planet. 

We have been working since 2011 to develop practical, sustainable, and effective ways to tackle exclusion. Starting with our play projects that we deliver in partnership with communities across several African countries, we have developed a tried and tested model which immediately ends the isolation of disabled children.  We empower communities to harness the power of play to tackle exclusion,  improve access to vital support, and advocate for the rights of disabled children.  

We believe that the desperate inequalities that exist for disabled people are unacceptable and preventable. To address these inequalities improves all of us who take part. Inclusion benefits everyone.
