When 14-year-old Ana Paulino started school at EPC Armando Guebuza School, she did not expect to take part in many activities—especially not in gym class. I was used to sitting in a corner and waiting until class was over. I was forbidden to touch the other children, she explains. Ana joined Grade 6 at EPC Armando Guebuza when she and her parents moved to Changara, Tete province, under a year ago. When her parents came to register her in school, they did not mention that she and one of her younger sisters suffer from albinism; they also did not know that the school was part of the Child-Friendly Schools initiative, which promotes inclusive education and the right of all children —especially girls, children with disabilities, orphans and vulnerable children—to equitable education.
