During these demanding times we have developed and grown an online parent network – we celebrated the first birthday of this network in August having grown to over 530 participating parents! The scale of growth and the impact of this network has been remarkable – we share this with you to celebrate and further pay tribute to you for your direct support and trust in the work that we are doing.
We are also pleased to share that following 7 years of engaging with partners and Ministry of Health in Botswana we have been contracted to run a significant wheelchair outreach service, training and wheelchair
provision program which will influence the lives of thousands of children, their families, therapists and community support providers in the region.
We are all working very hard to ensure the sustainability and growth of the work of the Shonaquip Social Enterprise in the months and years to come. If ever there was a time in which our children deserve to be valued, supported, and cared for, it is now. Ongoing reports of ‘lived experience’ of people with disabilities suggests that changing perceptions about disability is fundamental to achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Despite the unforeseen challenges of this year, stories of change and hope have emerged as our organization fosters enabling environments, attitudes and systems in support of meaningful participation.
Thank you for your ongoing support!
