Worldwide, more than 32 million children living with disabilities do not go to school. These children are denied their fundamental right to learn and are 10 times less likely to attend school than children without disabilities. This unjust exclusion limits their opportunities to acquire the skills they need to reach their full potential and participate in their communities, perpetuating a cycle of poverty. A high-quality, inclusive education generates real hope for the future of so many children. That’s why inclusive environments play a pivotal role in tackling the stigma against people with disabilities. At Humanity & Inclusion, we acknowledge the role education plays in bringing global peace and sustainable development to communities worldwide.
