Uhambo has been supporting the Emadlelweni Centre, a day center for children with disabilities, in the Indwe Township in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Set in a rural rea, many parents have a difficult time transporting their children to the center for services. Given these logistical challenges, Uhambo is providing training to the parents and center staff so parents are equipped to provide support to their children from home. Home-based intervention is currently the only way to support these children and their families. The caregiver training allows them to increase their capacity and conduct stimulation-based programs to the children who range from primary school age to young adults.
These programs provide an opportunity for the children of this community to be included in developmental opportunities and for their families to be more confident in engaging with the community.
Thank you for your continued support of our programs that support inclusivity and allow children with disabilities to reach their full potential!
