Children living with HIV are at increased risk of impairment and disability. These conditions can have severe consequences for their participation in school and learning, their experience of stigma and discrimination, and their self-esteem and confidence.

In 2015, Zvandiri set up an HIV and Disability Impact Mitigation Project in Zimbabwe to address the unmet health, rehabilitation, educational and psychosocial needs of school age children who are both living with HIV and have an impairment.
