𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲
Today, Uganda Society for Disabled Children joins the global community to celebrate 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 under the theme "𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻".
For a child and youth with a visual impairment, braille is not just a code of raised dots but a key to the classroom, a foundation of independence and a doorway to employment.
Communication is the heartbeat of inclusion yet many children and youth in Uganda still face barriers to accessing braille materials and specialized services.
Uganda Society for Disabled Children is celebrating the resilience of Ugandan children and youth who are mastering Braille and the dedicated teachers supporting them.
Together, let us make Uganda more accessible, one dot at a time.

We are proud to share the successful training of caregivers of ECHO RISE project on childhood disability, rehabilitation, and disability inclusion within their communities. This important initiative was led by Katalemwa Cheshire Home, in close collaboration with Uganda Society for Disabled Children, in Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement.
Caregivers are a critical force in ensuring access, retention, and improved learning outcomes for out-of-school children, those at risk of dropping out, and vulnerable children in transit sites. Their empowerment strengthens inclusive education pathways for every child.

A heartfelt thank you to European Union for the generous funding that makes this work possible, and to our committed consortium partners: Save the Children, Handicap International - Humanity & Inclusion, -Education Local Expertise Centre Uganda -Young African Refugees for Integral Development
Together, we continue to ensure that young vulnerable children have access to safe, inclusive, and quality education.

Today 3rd December 2025, Uganda Society for Disabled Children joins the World to Commemorate in Mubende District under the theme "Wealth Creation Programmes: A Key to Socio-Economic Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities"
Uganda Society for Disabled Children, we believe that disability inclusion is not a charity, but a prerequisite for sustainable development.
What We're Doing is;
Promoting Inclusive Education: We work to ensure children and youth with disabilities have equal access to quality learning by building the capacity of teachers and schools to integrate inclusive practices.
Strengthening Inclusive Health Services: We empower Parent Support Groups (PSGs) with skills in home-based care and advocate for functional referral systems so that children receive the corrective interventions and health services they need.
Advocating for Rights: Through strong partnerships, we lobby government and community structures to mainstream disability inclusion in all planning and resource allocation.
The future of Uganda depends on the full participation of all its citizens, including the estimated 16% of the global population who live with a significant disability. Let us continue to break down attitudinal, physical, and systemic barriers that limit potential.
Join us in celebrating the resilience, contributions, and leadership of children and youth with disabilities!

Together, let’s continue to champion Accessible and Equitable Therapy Services for All Children.
