“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” These are the words of Nelson Mandela in a speech he gave in 2003. More and more of the world’s children are being armed with this vital weapon – they are going to school. But what happens to a child who never gets access to education because of a disability? When the struggle for a better life is a
struggle against closed school doors, ignorant attitudes and an acute lack of resources?
These are the children this document is about – the forgotten children of the Millennium Development Goals.
