Children's Resource Library

Opened in November 2001, the Children's Resource Library, located on the PWD compound in Kampala, Uganda, is a very exciting and promising project. The library, which now houses approximately 450 holdings (and growing), is a place where children with disabilities and their families can come, get information, share with others in similar situations, and discover their dreams and desires.

Children's Resource Library Wish List



The library's shelves are stocked with both fiction and nonfiction books for children, dealing with disability in some way. Resources are also available for parents and caretakers, providing them with much needed information about raising their child and helping them lead full and independent lives.

The library's holdings include books, magazines, audio read-a-long tapes, and some videos. In the upcoming year we hope to develop more literacy training activities in order to benefit those involved and make the library even more accessible.
