Story

Able Child Africa plays a key role in supporting local partners to protect, educate and empower children with disabilities in Africa. This year, we captured the story of Juliet - a bright, bubbly, confident thirteen-year-old from Tanzania. She also has hydrocephalus, and low vision. The journey Juliet's family have been on to understand how to better support their daughter, is one shared by many parents of children with disabilities across Africa. But thanks to the support of Able Child Africa and our partner Child Support Tanzania, Juliet is now empowered to fulfil her potential. But we want to support more children. To do this, we need your help. The contributions you make allow us to continue to advocate for the rights of children with disabilities like Juliet, and importantly, support the growth of partner organisations in the countries where we work.
