    • Juliette is the mother of a child living with a disability. She connected with Oxfam's partner organisation, the Vanuatu Society for People with Disabilities, where Judith is a program manager.
    • Juliette says the organisation helped her to better understand her son’s value, worth and rights.
    • Judith’s hope for the future is to see her friends with disabilities reach their life goals and for disability inclusion in all spaces across Vanuatu.
    The aim of the program is to support the children and to help parents see the abilities of their children.
