Description
The project has the overall objective of promoting the right to health care, education and a dignified life for the most vulnerable women and girls with disabilities and in charge of people with disabilities, who live in the peripheral areas of Khartoum, Umbedda and Jabel Aulia. The first ones are doubly discriminated, both because women and because of people with disabilities. The second ones, as primary caregivers, are marginalized and are often excluded from work and education. Thus, the intervention will aim at promoting access to health, education and employment services by offering tools to improve the beneficiaries’ quality of life, by directly improving the prevention and early diagnosis of situations that could lead to chronic diseases or disabilities, as well as by facilitating the school and work inclusion of girls and/or girls with disabilities. Thus, the activation and consolidation of free basic pediatric services as well as pre and post natal services and health education is foreseen. The training of health personnel is also foreseen. The activation of an inclusive education system for people with disabilities and in particular for women and girls will be articulated through the strengthening of the activities of the promoters of the Community Based Inclusive Development. CBID mainly consists in home visits to the families of the selected areas, allowing volunteers to collect the needs of families by reporting the presence or absence of girls and boys with disabilities. In addition, training and awareness-raising on disability for school teachers continues the process of identifying and starting support teaching. Consequently, CBID teachers and promoters support the accompaniment of children with disabilities in school, at home and in orphanages. An innovative start-up for business, aimed at young people and young people with disabilities and training school staff will be created . From the implementation of the project we are expecting to reach: - 6400 women and 25,250 underage patients, of which 12,000 girls and 2% with disabilities, through the expansion of health services; - 300 health professionals trained on the Family Health Approach; - 12 schools and 60 teachers trained in inclusive education for children with disabilities; - 60 young people with disabilities who acquire technical and professional skills and are placed in the world of work as self-employed and/or employees
