UTLOOK
The practices can be adopted or adapted by other organizations, government departments as it is run on the lines of
CRB programs. Different organizations can complement the practices. It’s cost effective as it is community driven.
The project is expanding as SAVE the Children International asked to implement the programme on their behalf in eight
districts of Zimbabwe. As a result of this collaboration with Government, the Ministry of Primary and Secondary
Education is becoming more responsive to the education of learners with disabilities.
