MOBILITY AIDS’

Introduction:

The Zambian Association for Children with Disabilities (ZACD)

A dedicated non-profit organization committed to improving the lives of
children with disabilities. Established in 2008, the organization gained formal
registration with the Zambia Agency for Persons with Disabilities (ZAPD) in
2019, solidifying its mandate to serve as a vital support system for children
with mobility challenges across Zambia. ZACD focuses primarily on providing
essential mobility aids, such as wheelchairs, crutches, and walkers, enabling
children with disabilities to overcome barriers to mobility and actively
participate in their communities.

The organization operates from its Secretariat, strategically located at Plot #
BP 003/09 Great North Road, just beyond the SOS Children’s Village in
Lusaka. This location serves as a hub for coordinating its programs,
engaging stakeholders, and distributing mobility aids to those in need.
Through partnerships with local and international donors, as well as
collaboration with the government and other non-governmental
organizations, ZACD continues to advocate for the rights and inclusion of
children with disabilities, ensuring they lead dignified and empowered lives.
