Action for Positive Change

Because of the severe prejudices that children with disabilities face, many do not attend school. Despite Uganda's "Universal Primary Education" plan (UPE), which provides primary education to all children, many children with disabilities still do not attend. One reason is that the neglect that is suffered in their early years has left them without the social skills or independence that is needed to carry out basic activities of daily living. However, we believe that this does not have to be the case.

Through the program Action for Positive Change, preschool and school aged children with disabilities are taught the activities of daily living skills that most of us take for granted - grooming, self-feeding, social interaction, character building, etc. The goal of the project is to help these precious children gain a measure of independence, assimilate into society, and ultimately attend school.

Supplies and materials are desperately needed for this project. You can help donate needed learning toys and supplies to this project! Click here for our wish list - donating is quick and simple!
