Our cause
Children with disabilities are valuable in society.
The challenge
Children with disabilities in Uganda face systemic barriers:
- Limited access to early identification and rehabilitation services, especially in low-income communities
- Social stigma that leads to neglect, isolation and delayed school enrolment
- High poverty among caregivers, reducing their ability to afford therapy, transport and learning materials
- Inadequate inclusive education infrastructure and trained teachers
Without coordinated support, these challenges compound and result in lifelong exclusion.
Our response
SCSP applies a holistic family support model that integrates rehabilitation, inclusive education, caregiver economic empowerment, research and advocacy.
We work at child, family and community levels so that gains in one area are reinforced across the others.
Read about our approachOur reach as of 2026
- 96children enrolled at Wisdom Hub Inclusive School
- 800children supported with therapy and education
- 400caregivers trained and supported through livelihood initiatives
- 30+children referred to mainstream schools
What we do
Five connected programmes, one family-centred model
Each programme strengthens the others — from early therapy to inclusive schooling, family income and community acceptance. We work with the child, the family and the community at the same time.
How the programmes fit together-
Rehabilitation & Early Intervention
Physical, occupational and speech therapy that helps children gain mobility, communication and self-care skills. Caregivers are trained to continue therapy at home.
-
Inclusive Education
At Wisdom Hub Inclusive Nursery & Primary School, children with and without disabilities learn side by side — and children with special needs are prepared to join mainstream schools.
-
Livelihood Programme
Skills training, savings groups and loans for caregivers and vulnerable mothers in Mpigi who lack collateral, so families can afford therapy, food and school fees.
-
Awareness, Advocacy & Community
Community sessions, school outreach and advocacy that challenge stigma and myths about disability, so children are included rather than hidden at home.
-
Research & Learning
We document what works in early identification, caregiver wellbeing and inclusive education, and share it with partners and policymakers.
