Living with Disabilities in Gataka
10 images Created 24 Dec 2020
In Gataka, there are about one hundred and eight children living with disabilities. This only accounts for the data collected from select homes and schools.
The plight of children - and persons with special needs - is a global issue. According to UNESCO’s 2020 Global Education Monitoring Report , less than 10% of countries have laws that help ensure full inclusion in education.
The report highlights the chronic lack of quality data on those left behind, including children with special needs, stating that almost half of low- and middle-income countries don’t collect enough education data about the latter.
In Gataka, we are working to change these facts by bringing to the light the stories of persons living with disabilities and the experience for their caregivers.
