Dear Friends,
This has been such a difficult 12 months, more so for children with disabilities globally.
Despite these difficult circumstances, MAITS continues to support children with disabilities and we're delighted to say our online Master Training programmes have been incredibly successful working in partnership internationally.
We know that children with cerebral palsy can often develop infections which result in malnutrition and even premature death. By learning simple techniques around feeding and positioning, professionals and caregivers are best equipped to meet the needs of their child
MAITS has just finished our Master Training with Centre for Rehabiliation of Paralysed (CRP) Bangladesh and Ziauddin University, Pakistan, training 15 Master Trainers remotely - these will support an additional 40-45 community healthcare workers, improving the quality of lives for 160-180 families of those with developmental disabilities.
''While working with children with developmental disabilities, I have learnt that success is to achieve a milestone and it really doesn't matter how big or little it is. I have been witnessing so many success stories and these are truly inspirational. MAITS Community Healthworker Programmes are defintely making success stories. I feel proud to be part of MAITS.''
Aen-Ul-Huda, MAITS Master Trainer, ACELP Institute of Child Development, Karachi, Pakistan
Not only that but our MAITS Master training has just been accredited with the Continuing Professional Development Council, UK (CPD) meaning that our level of support for community healthworkers is unparalleled and the quality of our training is now recognised globally.
MAITS empowers families to develop strategies and practical solutions – a shared approach which results in long lasting partnerships. Our belief is that by embedding the programmes we are delivering sustainable support which will last beyond the lifetime of the project.
MAITS is hugely grateful for all your support at this time -emerging in a post COVID world will continue to present challenges
