The resounding clink of metal upon concrete announced Saisa Salemani's approach towards the head teacher’s office, where the LWF Inclusive Education Assessor Lauren Lawi Anyango awaited, bearing a gift that would ease the young girl's daily struggles at school.
Saisa, a grade 5 learner, had her left leg amputated after an injury when she was young and now relies on a prosthetic leg for mobility, supplemented by crutches due to her body's limitations. However, her current crutches had weathered countless miles, their rubber soles worn to the bone, leaving Saisa in discomfort with each noisy step.
