Able Child Africa is the leading UK charity working solely to support children with disabilities. Their mission is to promote the realisation of equal rights for children with disabilities and their parents and their dignified inclusion in all aspects of life. 

They do this in two main ways:

1)  Local organisation strengthening and programme delivery - working in partnership with organisations. They are currently working in six countries within Africa (Zambia, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya, Malawi, and Rwanda).

2) Rights based advocacy - for children with disabilities to government and agency actors. 

Having visited Rwanda I was keen to help raise money for Able Child, particularly its work with Uwezo Youth Empowerment (UWEZO) to develop improved mechanisms for disability organisations to be recognised and heard by government and on child protection systems in Rwanda to be more disability inclusive.
