Inclusivity

This series, created at HVP Gatagara an inclusive school in Rwanda, explores inclusion and friendship. It highlights how diversity enriches relationships, showing that everyone brings a unique background and special qualities. Together, they learn, grow, overcome obstacles, and support one another. With half of the 1,500 students at HVP Gatagara having a disability, the school is a testament to the power of inclusivity.

Ultimately, inclusion is about breaking down barriers and recognizing that everyone deserves a place to belong and thrive, regardless of their differences. At HVP Gatagara, friendship and mutual understanding bridge the gaps left by society, proving that true friendship transcends differences.
