The Wezesha Elimu project ‘Securing education for children with disabilities’ aimed to address barriers that limit children with disabilities from access, retention, and transition in education. Through the previous phases this has been achieved through performance of corrective surgeries, adaptation of school environments, early identification, and placement of children in schools.

The project had two main objectives.

• To provide specialist medical services through mobile clinics targeting children with disabilities with no access to treatment and surgical interventions.
• To strengthen early identification assessment, intervention and appropriate placement, retention, and transition of learners with disabilities in as per the 2018 Sector Policy for learners and trainees with disabilities.

These objectives were achieved through.

• Surgical interventions
• Post-operative review, habilitation, and rehabilitation.
• Mobile clinics
• Early interventions and appropriate school placement.
