Enhancing Home-Based Physiotherapy, Rehabilitation and Accessibility for Children with Disabilities

This activity aims to improve the lives of children with disabilities by providing accessible and Home-based physiotherapy services.
We will work with Proscovia Monica Atuhaire from Kisiizi and Appollo, Lillian, Reuben, community leaders, and caregivers to ensure that children with disabilities receive the necessary support and rehabilitation to reach their full potential through teaching them the basic exercises, and how to use local resources to make children friendly sure Aids like walking aids (bars, crutches, walkers, canes) and continuous spiritual support to care givers and children.
Problem Statement
Children with disabilities in our community face significant barriers to accessing physiotherapy and rehabilitation services, and counselling sessions including:
- Limited accessibility: Many homes are designed lacking accessible facilities, making it difficult for children with disabilities to receive physiotherapy services.
- Lack of trained professionals: none of the health workers here in Kakindo community are trained physiotherapists, making it challenging for children with disabilities to receive specialized care.
- Cultural and social stigma: Children with disabilities often face social and cultural stigma, leading to isolation and limited access to community-based services.
