Anglican churches agencies decided that Anglican Alliance relief work should focus on those who are the most vulnerable and often overlooked by the mainstream humanitarian aid, and especially people with disabilities.
We are developing innovative resources and training to enhance the work of Anglicans locally supporting people with disabilities during emergencies
Following an Anglican Alliance visit to the Mayukwayukwa refugee settlement in Western Zambia we produced a report on the situation of refugees with disabilities. Based on this experience, we are currently working on the interconnected issues of “gender, disability and displacement” in emergencies.
The Church can be a powerful voice supporting the dignity and empowerment of people with disabilities, creating an environment of respect and equality for everyone.
