Malawi
Severe flooding across Southern Malawi has displaced thousands of people, including an estimated 5,000 people with disabilities in districts such as Chikwawa and Nsanje. Many lost their homes, mobility aids, and essential belongings as floodwaters swept through villages, making evacuation and daily survival extremely difficult. People with disabilities are among the most vulnerable in this crisis. Without access to wheelchairs, blankets, food, and basic medical support, many are stranded in unsafe conditions and exposed to cold, illness, and further harm. Immediate assistance is needed to restore dignity, mobility, and safety as families begin the long process of recovery.

Bags and Purses

Bags and Purses

Malawi
In Chikwawa and Nsanje, Southern Malawi, many children with disabilities face barriers to learning that keep them excluded from school. Through the Inclusion in Learning initiative, children with visual and physical disabilities received school bags, stationery, braille kits, and access-friendly support such as desks and ramps, allowing them to participate in class with confidence and dignity. This support has helped children attend school regularly, engage in learning, and believe in their futures. Continued assistance will ensure more children with disabilities can learn alongside their peers in safe, inclusive classrooms where their abilities, not their limitations, define them.
