Descripción
My Name is Mukhwana David. The director and founder of Esther Links Children's Centre. I am passionate about children, living with disability, needy and vulnerable. We are currently creating awareness in the community, doing community visits where the needy and vulnerable children are so as to help them enjoy their right to education, medical and social wellbeing.
We also train the community groups (women, men and youth) with micro-finance/ entrepreneurship skills for economic empowerment, to meet their daily family needs and children's needs.
We have three locally paid staff.
1) The Social worker. This one does the community visits and sensitization and teaching entrepreurship skills and other social human needs as may arise from time to time and also does counseling.
2) The Nurse. This one attends to the children's general health needs and makes referrals to where necessary.
3) The Teacher. This teaches the reading and writing skills and also sounds/verbal training for the children with down syndrome. we have plans of hiring another teacher to help the needy and orphans also with reading, writing skills, singing and playing with them
This team doesn't work alone but along side other local volunteers to achieve our goals.
FUTURE PLANS
*Build a special needs school for children with Down syndrome.
*To see Down syndrome, orphans and needy children acquire education. (school fees and scholastic materials)
*Establish a skills Centre/vocational school for the teen mums Down syndrome, orphans and needy children.
*Have a children’s community Centre.
