In Zambia, the pursuit of inclusive education encounters significant challenges rooted in systemic inequities. Current statistics source reveal that nearly one in ten children with disabilities remain out of school, primarily due to social stigma, inadequate resources, and a lack of accessible infrastructure. In communities like Bauleni, situated in Lusaka, these challenges are particularly pronounced, with many children and youth with special needs not accessing education or receiving insufficient support within traditional school frameworks.

At the Bauleni Special Needs Project (BSNP), we acknowledge this pressing need for inclusive education as a fundamental human right and a critical element in fostering a more equitable society. By promoting inclusive education practices, BSNP ensures that all children, irrespective of their abilities, have access to quality learning opportunities that equip them for successful futures. Our initiatives not only aim to educate children with disabilities but also work to dismantle societal barriers, fostering understanding and acceptance within the community.
