Archie Hinchcliffe Disability Intervention - AHDI

Archie Hinchcliffe Disability Intervention - AHDI AHDI is a Zambian Non-Governmental Organisation that provides early Physiotherapy and Education int

The organsation started in 1993 as a philanthropic project by the then British High Commissioner’s wife, Mrs. Archie Hinchcliffe who was working at UTH as a Physiotherapist volunteer. Upon her departure in 1995, she persuaded Action on Disability and Development (ADD) whose head office is in the UK to fund the programme. The CBI programme under ADD was later within the year 1995 registered with Re

gistrar of Societies of Zambia. Action on Disability and Development (ADD) is a non service providing organization, while CBI is a service provider and this prompted the separation of the CBI programme from ADD in early 2007.CBI was transformed into a new organization and was registered as Community Based Intervention Association (CBIA), under a new leadership of the Board of Trustees. Upon registration with Patents and Companies Registration Agency (PACRA) in 2013, the name was changed to Archie Hinchcliffe Disability Intervention (AHDI).

Archie Hinchcliffe Disability Intervention (AHDI), through the Collective Action for Disability Rights (CADiR) project, held an inspiring training for caregivers of children with disabilities in Chibombo, Rufunsa, and Luangwa Districts.

This training was a life- changing experience for many participants, as it was their first time learning in details about:
●Human rights and how to claim them.
●Different types and Models of disability
●Advocacy strategies for inclusion and equality
●legal protection under the Persons with Disabilities Act No. 6 of 2012 and the UN Convention on the Rights of persons with Disabilities (CRPD)

Caregivers left the session empowered with knowledge and confidence to advocate for their children, promote inclusion in their Communities, and support decision-making at household and Community levels. The positive impact of this training is already clear. Parents and caregivers now have the tools to champion the rights of children with disabilities and help create a more inclusive Zambia.
