At World Vision, we believe every child has a right to education and that education can protect and support children affected by crises. Our framework focuses on providing inclusive, quality education during emergencies by integrating protection, health, and other services to help children learn, recover, and build resilience – especially for vulnerable and displaced children.

In this episode, we explore the disability landscape in Zambia. We are discussing the challenges faced by people with disabilities, the importance of using respectful and inclusive language, and the impactful work World Vision Zambia is doing to empower individuals with disabilities to contribute meaningfully to society. We are joined by Doreen Chizyuka, a Gender Equality and Social Inclusion Specialist at World Vision Zambia, with a strong focus on disability advocacy.

This article tells the story of Aimé, a 32-year-old self-taught electronics repairer in Tshikala, in the Congolese province of Lualaba, whose life was transformed by receiving a wheelchair through World Vision DRC’s Gift-In-Kind (GIK) programme. Born without the use of his legs, Aimé’s work was limited by his inability to travel independently. Thanks to this donation, he can now visit clients, purchase spare parts, expand his customer base, and consider opening a workshop. The wheelchair has not only increased his income and eased the burden on his family, but it has also changed how the community sees him, shifting his image from “the young man in a wheelchair” to “the phone repairer”. His story highlights the profound impact that well-targeted in-kind donations can have, restoring autonomy, dignity, and social recognition to people who have long been marginalised.

This story is about Monygau, a 17-year-old boy in South Sudan who has a disability called cerebral palsy. It explains how the EMPOWER project helped him and others get a tricycle to go to school by themselves. The story shows how this support makes life easier for him and his family. It also discusses the challenges children with disabilities face in schools and how South Sudan is working to include all children in education.

This article is about Gloire’s story, which illustrates the impact a single wheelchair can have. In Lualaba, she is one of only two individuals recently supported through World Vision’s GIK program. This gesture transformed her life and rekindled hope. Her story calls for continued support for people living with disabilities. Behind every donation is a life changed, dignity restored, and a community inspired. And as long as children like Gloire keep dreaming upright, the work toward a more inclusive world must continue.
