HATW works in partnership with schools and communities in Kenya helping children with disabilities. This project supports Irindiro and Athi Special Schools in Meru County, providing residential education to children with disabilities. We plan to extend our reach to other local schools supporting children with disabilities to access education and increase awareness of disability issues. HATW will provide equipment, furniture and necessary learning materials.
In Kenya, it is estimated that only one in six disabled children attend school. Those few who are able to attend school still face problems of exclusion, stigmatisation and poorly equipped schools. Families and children need to be supported to seek help and advice and have access to schools that can meet the needs of their children to enable them to thrive.
HATW will support a number of schools in Meru County that provide tailored education to children with disabilities and special needs. The support will include the provision of necessary equipment, educational materials, and nutritious meals. The project will also raise awareness to change negative attitudes towards children with disabilities and support an inclusive learning environment.
In the long term the aim is to ensure access to school for children with disabilities. The project will improve the school facilities, as well as the teaching and learning environment. This support will increase school attendance and consequently promote higher academic performance and achievements. An improved learning environment will also promote respect for the dignity of pupils and teachers and an increased self-esteem amongst parents and community members will be fostered.
