Empower 50 Children with Disability

By Edyth Bones | Co-founder

Dear GlobalGiving Team and Supporters,

Warm greetings from Leroy Bones Foundation.

We are grateful to share an update on our “Empower 50 Children with Disabilities in Kenya” project and the difference your support is making in the lives of children and their families.

Through this project, we are providing ongoing monthly support to children with disabilities and their families, with assistance guided by each family's most urgent need. Rather than providing the same type of support to every family, we listen to caregivers and allow each family to identify the area where assistance would make the greatest difference in their child's life.

Through the support received so far, children and families have benefited from:

Nutrition support to help families meet their children's basic nutritional needs.
Therapy services to support children's development and participation.
Educational support to help children access and remain in school.
Assistive devices, including mobility equipment that enables children to participate more fully in school, family, and community life.
Other essential support based on the individual circumstances and priorities identified by each family.

A Story of Hope

One of the most encouraging outcomes of this project is the story of a young boy with a disability who had never had the opportunity to attend school.

For his family, the cost of education and the additional support he needed had been a major barrier. Like many families raising children with disabilities, they faced difficult financial challenges and had limited options for accessing appropriate educational opportunities.

Through the support provided by the Empower 50 Children project, the boy was finally able to join school for the first time.

Seeing him take this important step has brought tremendous hope to his family. He now has an opportunity to learn, interact with other children, develop new skills, and discover his abilities in an environment where he can be supported.

His journey reminds us that empowerment can begin with something as fundamental as opening the door to a classroom.

Why We Need Your Continued Support

There are many more children like him who are still waiting for an opportunity to go to school, access therapy, receive adequate nutrition, or obtain an assistive device.

Our goal is to empower 50 children, but we can only reach this goal with continued donor support. Every contribution helps us respond to a family's most urgent need and gives children opportunities that might otherwise remain out of reach.

We appeal to our GlobalGiving community to continue giving and to share this project with friends, family, colleagues, and networks. Your support can help another child take their first step into school, receive the therapy they need, or gain the assistive device that can transform their participation and independence.

Thank you for believing in children with disabilities and for helping us build a future where they are included, supported, and given the opportunity to reach their potential.

Together, we can empower 50 children—one child, one family, and one life-changing opportunity at a time.

With sincere gratitude

PROGRESS ON EMPOWER CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

By Edyth Bones | Co-founder

Dear Supporters,

Because of your generosity, the “Empower 50 Children with Disabilities in Kenya” project continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and their families. We are grateful to share that we are currently supporting children on a monthly basis, responding directly to their most urgent needs.

Each family was given the opportunity to identify their most critical area of support, ensuring that every child receives help where it matters most. Through your support, children are now benefiting from:

Nutritious food support to improve health and well-being
Therapy services including physiotherapy, occupational, and speech therapy
Educational support such as school fees and learning materials
Assistive devices including mobility aids and other essential equipment

This flexible, family-centered approach has allowed us to provide targeted and impactful support, restoring hope and dignity to families who often struggle to meet these needs on their own.

A Moment of Impact
The attached photo highlights one of the children in the program — a young girl who recently received a wheelchair through your support. Before this, mobility was a daily challenge, limiting her ability to attend school and participate in community life. Today, she can move with greater ease, attend school more consistently, and engage with other children — a life-changing transformation made possible by you.

Thank You for Making This Possible
Your continued support is not only meeting immediate needs but also opening doors to opportunity, inclusion, and a brighter future for these children.

We invite you to continue walking this journey with us. Together, we can reach even more children and ensure that no child is left behind.

With gratitude,
Edyth Bones

PROGRESS ON EMPOWER CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

By Edyth Bones | Co-founder

Dear Supporters,

Warm greetings, and thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to the “Empower 50 Children with Disabilities in Kenya” project. We are pleased to share an update on the progress of the project and exciting news that will significantly strengthen our impact.

Project Impact So Far
Thanks to your support, we continue to empower children with disabilities and their families through encouragement, awareness, and access to essential support services. Parents and caregivers have expressed renewed hope as they see their children gaining confidence, social skills, and opportunities that were previously out of reach. Your donations are helping to reduce stigma and create pathways toward inclusion, dignity, and independence for these children.

Exciting News: Establishment of a Well-Being Centre
We are happy to share that plans are underway to establish a Well-Being Centre for Children with Disabilities and Their Families. This Centre will serve as a safe, inclusive space where children and caregivers can access:

Therapy services (speech, occupational, and physiotherapy)
Psychosocial support and counseling for families
Parent training and peer support groups
Inclusive play, learning, and life-skills activities

The Well-Being Centre will greatly enhance the sustainability of this project by providing consistent, holistic support beyond outreach activities. It will be a place of healing, growth, and empowerment for the 50 children we serve — and many more in the future.

Why Continued Support Matters
While this progress is encouraging, continued donor support is essential to fully equip and operationalize the Well-Being Centre and to sustain ongoing empowerment activities. Your continued giving will directly contribute to improved well-being, stronger families, and brighter futures for children with disabilities in Kenya.

A Heartfelt Thank You
We are deeply grateful to GlobalGiving and every donor who has stood with us on this journey. Your belief in this project is transforming lives and building a more inclusive society where every child matters.

Together, we can continue to empower, uplift, and give hope to children with disabilities and their families.

Warm regards,
