Learning Together (Inclusive Education)
Training teachers and providing assistive devices to ensure no child is left behind.
Voices of Hope Foundation (VOHF) is a community-led organization advancing inclusive education and disability rights in Zanzibar. Our flagship program, Jumuisha Zanzibar (JuZa), ensures children and youth with disabilities learn, thrive, and participate fully in society.
Training teachers and providing assistive devices to ensure no child is left behind.
Supporting caregivers with seed capital and training to improve family wellbeing.
Creating safe, accessible spaces where children of all abilities play and learn together.
Many still see accessibility as an optional add-on, yet we rely on it every day — from curb cuts and captions to voice-to-text and audiobooks. What starts as an accommodation for some often becomes a convenience for all, strengthening systems and making life easier for everyone. Inclusion is not a favor; it is smart, forward-thinking development."
Empowering women and caregivers strengthens families, builds resilient communities, and lays the foundation for a more inclusive and prosperous Zanzibar.
When a child with a disability is given the opportunity to learn, the whole community begins to see ability instead of limitation. JuZa is not just changing schools — it is changing mindsets across Zanzibar.
True inclusion happens when families, teachers, and Shehia leaders work together. VOHF’s community-owned approach ensures that no child is hidden, and no family walks the journey alone.
