  Description

  We are a community based organization in Ruai Kenya, that aims to empower and support special needs
  individuals and their primary caregivers. We try to reintegrate them into the community as independent and productive citizens.
  
  In our organization we deal with children with mental disability such as , cerebral palsy, autism, epilepsy, down syndrome just to name a few.
  
  In Kenya Cerebral palsy is known as the silent disability in Kenyan homes, as most parents encounter stigmatization and the conditions are linked to factors like witchcraft and family inherited curses and therefore majority of parents
  tend to hide their children from the society..
  
  We offer a safe space where they can freely and talk about challenges they face from having children with disabilities
  
  Developing initiatives such as education support, agriculture, micro-finance, health care, sports and adding value to existing efforts designed to strengthen community
  
  Offer mentorships sessions and life skills they require to empower themselves .
  
  Make home visits and help them with household tasks and give them few basic items they need as of people in the area are small scale farmers (home use) ,we therefore try give them new ideas on farming there to increase yields

  We are requesting volunteers long term and short who have skills in farming, animal care, water conservation/irrigation methods, Medical experts/pediatric doctors, website making, business administration, psychology knowledge or mental health experts, any health professional, photographer, a good proposal writer or someone who has experience with associations. We would also like volunteers who are interested in community work.
