Access to school and play for Akandwanira Simon

Akandwanira Simon is 12 years old and has severe muscle weakness in his lower limbs. His legs cannot bear his weight, and he cannot stand or walk without support. Simon wants the same everyday opportunities as other children his age: to move around safely, play, learn, and spend time with other children. Without suitable mobility support and accessible transport, those ordinary activities remain difficult to reach. Both of Simon’s parents also have physical disabilities, and the family lives with serious financial hardship. A properly fitted mobility aid, education support, and accessible services would reduce some of the barriers the family manages each day. AWL is sharing Simon’s profile to focus attention on practical access. The aim is to help him participate more fully at home, at school, and in his community.
