Excelling both in the classroom and in sports, she has earned multiple medals while building confidence and independence along the way.

In December 2025, ZPHCA brought together key stakeholders, including youth with disabilities, to develop its 2026–2030 Strategic Plan.

The inclusive process ensured that the voices of beneficiaries were at the centre of defining the organisation’s priorities for the next five years strengthening participation, ownership, and impact.

Together, we continue to build a future where children and youth with disabilities are fully included in decision-making processes that shape their lives.

🌍 National Advocacy for Disability Inclusion

In commemoration of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD), we participated in national advocacy efforts to promote the rights, inclusion, and meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in all aspects of society.

The engagement brought together key stakeholders to reflect on progress made and to strengthen commitments towards creating inclusive policies, accessible services, and equal opportunities for persons with disabilities.

Together, we continue to champion a society where no one is left behind.
