Focus

The development and resilience of 200 children and young people (aged 2 to 15 years) with cerebral palsy and other neurodevelopmental conditions by ensuring that their parents and caregivers have the appropriate information, skills and resources to improve care, nutrition, food security and livelihoods.  

Summary

Addressing the gaps in health services and limited access to assistive technology that often leads to children’s late diagnoses, referral and developmental delays.  The project provides wheelchairs and other assistive devices, along with training for caregivers and service providers.

Core activities include education, nutrition guidance, group therapy, and peer support through our established Parent Carer Training.

Recognising the challenges faced by caregivers, we will also incorporate sessions on Gender-Based Violence awareness.

To promote nutrition and food security, the project introduces vertical bag farming and goat rearing for milk production, combined with training on income generation strategies to support household resilience.

Additionally, participants will document their perspectives on critical issues through a photovoice exhibition, raising awareness and engaging policymakers to drive change beyond the project’s scope.
