Clare Wavamunno, an Ashoka Fellow based in Kampala (Uganda), launched Hill Preparatory School when her three-year-old daughter was diagnosed with learning disabilities.

Rather than move to the UK, Clare Wavamunno decided to launch her home-grown project where children with and without disabilities would be able to learn together in the same environment.

She had to find the right ratio so that all children could benefit from this new model, she had to modify the syllabus of the country and even add more to it, and more importantly, she had to overcome parents' reluctance.

When several students won gold and silver medals in swimming at the Special Olympics, she knew that he had succeeded. Her advice: "Don't give up. Keep going, keep going... And invest in individuals."
