Special Children Special People (SCSP) is a registered indigenous NGO in Uganda (Registration No. INDR1665812NB). We operate primarily in Kampala and Mpigi districts, working directly with children with disabilities, their caregivers, schools and community leaders.
SCSP was founded in response to the visible gaps in services for children with special needs, particularly among low-income families. Over the years, the organisation has grown from small community outreach activities into a recognised centre providing rehabilitation services, inclusive education, caregiver empowerment and disability awareness.
Our work is grounded in local realities while informed by international best practices in special education and rehabilitation.
Enhancing Inclusion of Children with Special Needs is important in reduction of neglect, combating stigma and abuse – after realizing that many young PWDs have challenges to adopt into formal education due to factors such as low level of perception, low self-esteem, low egos, psychological torture among others.
