From “Special School” to Shared Stage, our story

Since we launched the Inclusive Reading and Arts Festival in 2023, your support as Airlykplym Havor Esi Korkor Arthur Mame Akosua Obsy Ohene Zainab Iddrisu Rukmini Esi Arhtur Stephen Bewong SingPoint MotherCare Jessie Pajet Vishnu KD Coleman Kwesi Nyarko and so many wonderful people, organisations, and well wishers have helped us grow more than we imagined.

Together, we’ve seen children and whole communities become more confident, creative, and open to inclusion.

Each year, more children join the festival. The words we hear, especially from children with special needs, stay with us:

“I am so happy to be part of this festival. This is the first time I get to compete with other children not from my ‘special school’. I can show everyone that disability is not inability; we express our talents and learn differently.”

This is why we keep going and why we are inviting you to walk with us again.

As we prepare for the next Inclusive Reading and Arts Festival, there is another opportunity to support inclusive education in Ghana. Your contribution, whether as an individual or an organisation can take many forms:

• Financial support
• Teaching and learning resources
• Assistive devices or accessibility support
• In kind or partnership support from your company or institution
Every contribution helps more children with special needs access quality, inclusive education and showcase their abilities alongside their peers.
If you or your organisation would like to support this year’s festival, please get in touch:
