This report provides an overview of what transpired in the last quarter at CFU. This report provides an overview of the training of lead mothers to be facilitators of formed groups of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy.  CFU conducted five days training of lead mothers/expert mothers and VHTs on cerebral palsy targeting Caregivers, Village health teams, community leaders, and staff. The training commenced on the 26th of June and ended on the 30th of June, in attendance were 15 participants (14F/1M) conducted in CFU space.

The training was conducted by Child and Family Foundation Uganda (CFU) in partnership with Baby UBUNTU.

 

Objectives

The objectives of the training were to:

To increase the knowledge and confidence of caregivers regarding their children’s condition and their needs

To encourage positive attitudes toward having a child with a disability within the family

To improve problem-solving and peer support amongst caregivers

To promote the inclusion of children within the family and community

To equip participants with skills to care for their children and promote optimum development and reduce further disability eg contracture, limb, deformities

To enable early identification and management of malnutrition

To support parents in identifying common health problems seizures and pain and assist them to treat them quickly.

Empower lead mothers to facilitate groups of caregivers of children with cerebral palsy.

Promote peer support and information sharing among caregivers of children with cerebral palsy.

Participants

The training was attended by 10 lead mothers, 2 trainers and 4 CFU staff. The lead mothers were selected by their communities based on their leadership skills and their experience in caring for children with cerebral palsy.

Training Content

During the training, several modules were disseminated including Getting started (About the program, running session, conducting a home visit), Know your child, Positioning and carrying, Eating and drinking, learning to move, Communicating, Play and stimulation, Everyday activities, Togetherness and belonging Our community. Training Methods

The training was conducted using a variety of methods, including lectures, discussions, role-playing exercises, and group activities. The training was also highly interactive, with lead mothers having the opportunity to share their own experiences and learn from each other.

Number of Children Assessed and Enrolled in the Project

During the third quarter of 2023, a total of 50 children with cerebral palsy were assessed, 30 were enrolled in the project, including 19 males and 11 females.
