The problem
It is estimated that 140 million of the world's children are out of school, of whom the majority are girls and children with disabilities. 80% of these live in Africa. In Lesotho, children with disability aged 5-10 are twice as likely to be out of school as their non-disabled counterparts. In the age group 11-20, they are seven times less likely to go to school.
Of the children that are enrolled in school, many aren't able to access the same level of education as their classmates as they may not have the right equipment or assistance. Simple equipment such as a braille stylus would enable a visually impaired child to write their own notes and do their homework, for example. Ramps to the classroom could allow a physically disabled child to access an education. You can make a big difference to a child's education by buying a Disability Awareness T-shirt.

How it works
Thanks to our generous partners Australian Volunteers International and AusAid, we've been able to get a very generous discount on these t-shirts. This means that we can use almost 100% of the money you pay for a t-shirt to purchase educational aids and equipment for children with disability. So... You get a cool t-shirt and child somewhere in Lesotho gets an education. It's a win win situation!
Where will your money go?We contacted Thuso e Tla Tsoa Kae, Phelisanong and St Bernadettes Resource Centre for the Blind, three wonderful schools for children with disability, and asked them to produce a "wishlist" of equipment for their students. The profits from your t-shirt purchase will be going to make these wishes come true.
