We need financial support to change the living conditions of Children with Disabilities. This support can be in form of beddings, clothes and other hygienic equipment like soap, Vaseline, sanitary pads for girls among others.
Persons With Disabilities become more vulnerable in their communities because of their living conditions. They are prone to very many diseases because their hygiene is so poor and attracts diseases so fast than their counter parts,

Family visits for PWDs
It’s never easy for Girls with Disabilities to access sanitary pads in their Menstrual periods. Most times they have no money to buy pads. How I wish Government & other responsible bodies can make it possible for such special people and other disadvantaged girls who a facing hard times in periods.
its alot of committment and sacrifice to reach out to PWDs. most of them live in hard to reach areas.
our animal project is doing well... we train and support families of PWDs to engage themselves in IGAs to live independent lives.
