Kuhenza’s Disability Awareness Days are usually attended by hundreds of people, many of whom travel several hours to join the celebration. The day often starts with a parade led by people pushing children in wheelchairs while singing popular songs. Children from the special needs schools that we support perform dances, songs, poetry and plays.

Speakers often include the district education officers. Community members who attend these days develop greater awareness and compassion for children with disabilities and learn that they need to support and encourage all children, no matter what their ability is, to reach their full,God-given potential.

During these days, our staff also help many children with disabilities and their families to connect to proper education and medical resources.
