One of the unique elements of Uhambo's work in rural and less-resourced communities is educating parents of children with disabilities. With our "Let's Talk" workshop, Uhambo invites staff at care centers, parents and other community members to dialogue about disabilities in their community. This creates an opportunity for Uhambo to educate the participants about the nature of disabilities and to empower them by sharing how every child with a disability has rights in their own community. This education creates parent champions for children with disabilities and ultimately leads to social change! Through this workshop, participants overcome their stigmas about disabilities and recognize that action can be taken to ensure children are receiving proper care and support in their communities. I recently participated in several of our programs in South Africa and watched the mindshift occur before my very eyes! Thank you for your support!
