    Current issue: Encounter 2/2023

    Inclusion of people with disabilities in Tanzania

    For people with disabilities, there is hardly any equal participation in society in many places. How can we break down barriers - both in the infrastructure and in our minds? This question is explored in the new issue of "begegnen" using the example of Tanzania. Inclusion has gained importance here, for example in the vocational schools of the Moravian Church. But there are still many hurdles.

    Also in this issue: How our partner organization Machaqa Amawta is working to combat sexual and gender-based violence in Bolivia.
