Building an inclusive society for all!
From inclusive classrooms to the national team, from climate-resilient livelihoods to the families who make it all possible, ANDY opens every door that exclusion has closed for children and youth with disabilities.
Explore our programmesWe believe in a Kenya where every child and youth with a disability has an equal chance to succeed.
So we work for two outcomes above all: every child with a disability in a classroom built to include them, and every young person a fair shot at a livelihood of their own. From early childhood to adulthood, with parents and caregivers as full partners at every step.

Why ANDY.
Youth-Led. Disability-Led.
Young people with disabilities lead the change. We put lived experience at the heart of our work, empowering young people with disabilities to shape decisions, policies and opportunities that affect their lives.
Rights Into Action.
We turn disability rights into real opportunities. Through advocacy, education, livelihoods and participation, we challenge barriers and create pathways for young people with disabilities to learn, work and thrive.
Inclusion That Lasts.
We build change that goes beyond projects. We work with communities, institutions and partners to strengthen systems, challenge discrimination and make inclusion part of everyday life.
What we do.
Four programmes, one goal: a barrier-free life. Each is a different way in, and together they carry a child from the first day of school to a livelihood of their own.
