Policy on Inclusion of Disabled Children and Adults
“The rights of persons with disabilities may be violated
by attitudinal, institutional or environmental barriers
that exist in society.
We recognise God-given abilities, rather than focusing
on individuals’ impairments or functional limitations.
We work to enable people to be treated with dignity,
not pre-judged or portrayed as victims, incompetent,
or in need of medical care.”
(Sept 2009)
“.…of 37 potential indicators for nine
countries…the indicators most
consistently revealing of
vulnerability were asset ownership,
household wealth status and
education level of adults in the
household1.”

As people living with disabilities in Swaziland we are normally overlooked
when people are being considered for projects, jobs and other benefits. It
was really amazing that World Vision established a project for people living
with disabilities. I graduated from high school in 1996 and was unemployed
for about 8 years; I then enrolled at the Sidvwashini Vocational Centre to
learn sewing skills. Since then I have been making a living by selling school
uniforms to schools around Mbabane, but it has been difficult. So when
World Vision called us for training I saw an opportunity to progress and
strengthen my business and help me learn different job skills so that I
diversify and make income to live a better life. Through World Vision
international Swaziland office I learnt how to make floor polish, fabric
softener, and sisal petroleum jelly lotion known as Vaseline, liquid soap and
fruit jam. We were also taught business development information and also
how to establish accumulated savings and credit associations known as
ASCAs savings schemes. This has encouraged me and opened my eyes to
other business opportunities. This year in October I will be serving an
apprenticeship with the Sidvwashini Vocational centre.
