I deserve a right to quality education.

Almost 1.13 million children of primary school age (6 to 13 years old) are out of school in Kenya due to various factors including disabilities​.

To date, disability in Kenya can mean exclusion from Education, exclusion from EMPLOYMENT, and denial of other basic HUMAN RIGHTS. 0.9 million Kenyans live with some form of disability, with the majority forgotten, hidden, and left behind. Action Network for the Disabled (ANDY) is an (NGO) dedicated to addressing these challenges. By working at all levels of the community and involving children and youth with disabilities, ANDY strives to achieve, inclusion, and empowerment.
