​​Towards a new understanding of persons with disabilities

In Tanzania, disabilites is often connected to superstition and there is a lack of knowledge about people with disabilites, their potential and their human rights. Being a real agent of change, Alex has devotedly contacted churches in Busega Region and asked for permission to teach the congregations about children with disabilities and their human rights. His go-ahead spirit has already achieved good results in form of several speeches in different churches in the area – and the people are paying attention!

Lately, Alex was also appointed by his director to teach his colleagues about children with disabilities and their human rights. This might be an important step towards a new understanding among Alex’ teacher colleagues.
