There are a lot of things that Andile can do by herself. When people with disabilities are underestimated, their opportunity is limited. Let's work together for everyone to reach their potential and live a full and happy life. #DisabilityDebunked #EqualWorld #Disability

Over the past 20 years, more than 50 countries have eliminated one or more neglected tropical disease, with support from @WHO and dedicated programmes funded by generous donors. On #WorldNTDDay, we’re calling on all partners to Unite, Act, Eliminate -- because neglected tropical diseases still affect over 1 billion people, mostly in the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities.

The future belongs to those who can learn. Over 200 million children with disabilities are excluded from classrooms. This International Day of Education, let’s change that. Partner with Sightsavers and #FundEducation for all: sightsavers.org/disability-a… #InclusiveEducation
