Amanda from Zama-Zama, KwaZulu-Natal province

Amanda, an 8-year-old girl with a physical and a mild intellectual disability from Zama-Zama, KwaZulu-Natal province, sits on her mother’s knee outside her house. Amanda was left with no school to attend after the nearby mainstream school refused her admission and the special school further away from home was too far to get to.
