In Kilifi County, thousands of children with disabilities remain hidden, neglected, or denied access to education due to social stigma, poverty, and lack of specialized resources. Many face discrimination, while families struggle to provide essential medical care, assistive devices, and school fees. Since 1990, Asante Aid has been a lifeline for vulnerable children, rescuing, educating, and empowering those most at risk through strategic intervention.
Children with disabilities in Kilifi County face systemic exclusion due to poverty, stigma, and lack of accessible resources: 95% of disabled children in Kilifi South are not in school, hidden due to discrimination. The 2019 Kilifi County Integrated Development Plan recorded 20,044 people with disabilities, including 1,682 institutionalized children. Over 600 impaired children in Malanga lack specialized care. High prevalence of cerebral palsy and microcephaly demands urgent attention.
Our intervention strategy will: 1. Enroll 300 Disabled Children in School Fund boarding school placements to remove financial barriers. Provide tailored learning materials and assistive technology. Train teachers on inclusive learning methods for optimal student outcomes. 2. Expand Healthcare and Assistive Devices Supply mobility aids (wheelchairs, prosthetics, adaptive equipment). Deliver physiotherapy and specialized medical care.
To sustain the program long-term, Asante Aid will: Introduce monthly membership fees and annual subscriptions to ensure recurring funding. Engage corporate sponsors for sustained financial support. Encourage in-kind donations, including learning materials, mobility aids, and assistive technology. Develop vocational training initiatives, creating self-sustaining income streams. By leveraging community-driven funding and long-term donor relationships, Asante Aid will ensure lasting impact
