Special Children's Trust

Special Children's Trust The Special Children’s Trust is a charity organization based in Kampala, Uganda, East Africa. The aim is to link these organizations so as to:

1.

The Special Children’s Trust was established to meet the needs of families in Uganda who have children with special needs, in whatever way possible, whilst also showing them the extent of the love God has for them and the family He blessed them with. We have both CBO (Community Based Organization) and NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) status. CBO Reg No: NAK/11/065
NGO Reg No: S.5914/9715

One i

n every 10 children in Uganda is born with some form of disability. These range from extremely severe physical and/or mental disabilities, to very mild ones that are hardly noticeable. However, most communities still view disability as a bad omen, bad luck, punishment or a curse for the sins the parents must have committed. Some people see disability as witchcraft or a contagious condition that should be avoided, which leave families who have children with disabilities alone and isolated. The lack of readily available support and information to parents prevents them from giving their children quality care at an early age, which in turn increases the severity of the children’s condition. The Trust was created as an umbrella organization for the projects and efforts started by Miss Namaganda Florence, who is one of the founders and directors of Mukisa Foundation and Dawn Children’s Centre, and several other efforts for children with disabilities in Uganda. To promote quality care for children with special needs by providing the necessary information about available services, and funding for operations, assistive devices and any other that may be needed to achieve this objective.

2. To demystify disability through information dissemination, awareness campaigns and training for carers and families of children with special needs.

3. To promote inclusion of children with special needs into regular schools and ensure that they access quality education according their abilities.

4. To build the capacity of people working with children with special needs such as Medical workers, therapists, carers, vision bearers through trainings, information dissemination and resource mobilization.

5. To create a network of likeminded organizations so as to provide support, prevent duplication and improve quality of services available for children with special needs.

6. To provide a platform for the children, parents, and organizations working with children who have special needs to advocate for the rights and issues of children with disabilities in Uganda.

A huge thank you to Kabojja International School for organising and hosting the "International Conference on Inclusive Education" here in Kampala this past weekend of 1st and 2nd August.

We were privileged to attend both days, and what a couple of days it was. We were able to meet and network with a variety of people from around the world to learn more about inclusion and what it looks like for children and young people, both within the school classroom and outside the classroom within the community.

Inclusion means to accept others just the way they are, to accommodate them, to listen and adapt how you operate or how you think to ensure everyone can learn, to ensure everyone has a voice and to ensure every child knows they matter.

Are you among the voices shouting for inclusion...join us and become part of the change the world needs to see.

On Thursday SCT held a Parents Support Afternoon, hosted by Dawn Children's Centre with 30 parents in attendance with children in different schools. It was a wonderful afternoon with free medical and eye check ups for parents, parent testimonies, sharing ideas and a testimony from Serukenya and her husband about raising their daughter with Down Syndrome.

It was a blessed time and following the event parents were saying "the talk was inspiring, especially on the awareness of stigma" and "my morale was on and off, results were slow and I was going to give up but now I am encouraged to celebrate even the small achievements."

We look forward to other Parent Support Days in the future, as we value the importance of empowering the entire family when it comes to changing the lives of children with disabilities.
