Challenge

Children with disabilities in Northern Uganda face serious mobility challenges that prevent them from accessing education and living with dignity. Many children in special needs schools and communities in districts such as Kole, Oyam, and Lira do not have wheelchairs and are forced to crawl long distances to school or depend entirely on caregivers for movement. Due to poverty, most families cannot afford proper mobility equipment for their children.As a result, many children miss school.

Solution

This project will provide wheelchairs to children with disabilities in special needs schools and vulnerable communities across Northern Uganda. The wheelchairs will help children move safely and independently to school, classrooms, health centers, and community spaces. Priority will be given to children from low-income families who cannot afford mobility equipment.CEFARH will work closely with schools, parents, community leaders, and health workers to identify children most in need of support.

Long-Term Impact

This project will improve access to education and inclusion for children with disabilities in Northern Uganda. With better mobility, children will remain in school longer, perform better academically, and participate more actively in community life. The project will also reduce stigma against children with disabilities by promoting equal opportunities and inclusion in schools and communities.
