DISABILITY INCLUSION

For children with disabilities, inclusion in family, school, and community life is especially important. It supports their development, builds identity and belonging, and lays the foundation for long-term well-being.

There are over 5 million children with disabilities living in the Chinese Mainland. 75% of people with disabilities live in rural areas where services are limited and awareness is low. Without support, these children often struggle to access early diagnosis, rehabilitation, quality education, and social inclusion.

World Vision works with children with disabilities and their families in areas where services are less accessible. Our aim is to help communities become more inclusive by improving access to essential services and creating environments where every child can take part in daily life with confidence and dignity.

Improve service accessibility

We work alongside local partners to provide rehabilitation, education, and social work support for children and families.

Empower caregivers and families

We support caregivers with training and practical tools, and connect them with social services and parent groups that helps them to care for children with disabilities.

Raise awareness

We support activities and awareness programs within communities to reduce stigma, foster participation and promote inclusiveness.

Promote inclusive practices and policies

We partner with government agencies, schools, and social organizations to coordinate care, identify needs and improve service quality so that children with disabilities and families have access to essential services.

Why It Matters

Inclusion is not only about access — it’s about respect, participation, and belonging. When children with disabilities are included in community life, it strengthens families, schools, and entire communities. Every child has something to contribute — and every child benefits when inclusion becomes the norm.
