Uhambo has been working recently with the Emadlelweni Care Center in a small rural community in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Emadlelweni is an early childhood development center which serves many children with disabilities in the surrounding area. However, many of the families cannot attend the center due to transport, financial, and environmental barriers. Therefore, Uhambo went to their homes and conducted disability training for parents and for the caregivers of the Center to promote the development of children with disabilities.
During our time at Emadlelweni, Uhambo provided workshops on our award-winning Ndinogona "I Can" stimulation program and parent support programs. We also held seating clinics at the center and provided specialized devices made for each child. These programs empower the parents and the Center staff, while providing transformative developmental opportunities for the children.
We are so thankful for your support of Emadlelweni! There is more work to be done at Emadlelweni and other surrounding communities, so we continue to raise funds for our work in this region.
