The Inclusive Education Hub for Africa (IE Hub) is an initiative of organisations dedicated to improving the quality of life for persons with disabilities. Our work is rooted in the belief that disability rights are human rights.
Through a robust network of partners and regional hubs, we provide a comprehensive range of services including medical rehabilitation, access to assistive technology, and evidence-based advocacy.
