.....hope for children with disabilities. Community based organisation

25/05/2026

Motherhood is one of life’s greatest blessings, but for mothers raising children with disabilities, it often comes with countless worries and overwhelming responsibilities.
In countries like Uganda, where support systems are still limited, many mothers carry the heavy burden of care while often forgetting to care for themselves.

That is why Pampering Day is always such a special occasion at Mukisa. It is a day to honour these incredible mothers and remind them that they are seen, valued, loved, and deserving of joy and rest.

This year, we hosted over 100 mothers at Tropical Paradise Beach in Garuga for a day filled with laughter, music, dancing, swimming, delicious food, and moments of true relaxation. For many of the mothers, it was their very first time experiencing such fun and freedom. To ensure they could fully enjoy the day, trusted members of our team provided childcare support for those who came with their children.

The mothers left feeling refreshed, energised, and encouraged to face life’s challenges once again.
As a team, days like these leave us overflowing with gratitude that we can walk alongside these beautiful women and, even if only for a day, help make their burdens a little lighter. ❤️

Last week was full of joy, learning, and connection as we celebrated Siblings’ Day in Kampala and at Mukisa Inclusive Village!
We welcomed 231 amazing siblings (ages 5–25) of children with disabilities for a special day designed to help them better understand, support, and stand up for their brothers and sisters.
What they learned:
• Safeguarding and child protection
• Communication and understanding of disability
• How to recognise safe places and safe people
• How to protect themselves and their siblings from abuse
• The importance of speaking up and reporting concerns
We also talked about what Mukisa Foundation does, from therapy to education, and each child had a chance to share about their sibling and how they support them at home.
And of course, we had LOTS of fun! From football and running games to chair dancing, balloon bursting, and more, there was laughter everywhere!
These children are not just siblings; they are protectors, helpers, and champions of inclusion 💪

Today, Mukisa Foundation, together with Special Children's Trust , Special Children’s Forum, joined NUDIPU-Uganda ,the Autism Society and other Civil Society Organisations serving persons with disabilities, appeared before the Joint Committees on Legal, Defence & Internal Affairs of Parliament to present our collective position on the proposed Sovereignty Bill.
We expressed serious concerns that the Bill, in its current form, does not adequately promote or protect the rights, dignity, and well‑being of persons with disabilities. Drawing from the presented position paper, we emphasised that legislation meant to safeguard national interests must also uphold inclusion, participation, and social justice.
As a collective, we recommended that the Bill be restructured through an inclusive consultative process or set aside, as it risks undermining rather than advancing the common good and the principle of “Nothing About Us Without Us.”
Mukisa Foundation remains committed to working with Parliament, government, and civil society partners to advocate for laws that meaningfully include persons with disabilities and strengthen Uganda’s democratic and social fabric.

For children with Special needs and disabilities therapy is extremely important, especially when it starts at an early age.
At Mukisa Foundation, every child is assessed and given the right therapy. This may be physio,occupational or speech and language therapy. Some children might require one ,or all the therapies combined. We also ensure continuity by training/ equipping the carers with basic technics to carryout at home at no cost.

Does your child or a child you know in your community need our services? Please reach out on 0772353020 or 0753353020 to book an appointment 🙏

Sending so much love and hope to you dear Mukisa family this Easter and always ❤️

Today we join the world in celebrating the world Autism Awareness day. Globally, 1 in every 100 children has been diagnosed with Autism which is similar to the statistics for Uganda.

This prevalence has changed greatly over the last few years meaning that this condition is on the increase at a very fast rate.
This creates a great need for more Awareness, schools that can take in these children, trained doctors, teachers and carers and a support system for families who have children with condition.

As Mukisa Foundation ,we call upon the ministry of health, Education, Gender and all partners with government to quickly build an ecosystem that allows for early diagnosis, clear referral pathways ,support for children with disabilities and their families. For every child matters!!!

We had a great time at the ADC / Special Children's Forum meeting this week. Members showed up in large numbers and shared freely. Some of the takeaways are:

1. There is a bigger number of people/ organisations working on issues concerning Children with disabilities in Uganda and therefore a great need for coordination and collaboration to avoid duplication and wastage of resources.
2. We should jointly work on an advocacy strategy to improve taxation, curriculum and assessment, and availability of essential drugs to support children with disabilities.
3. Therapists are a very limited / expensive resource and therefore a great need to equip parents with knowledge and skills to enable them support their children at home. While may organisations are already doing this, it is important to have a training tool that all organisations can refer to to ensure that parents get the best out of these trainings.
4. There is a great need for quality assurance and a monitoring mechanism that could help organisations assess the quality of services provided especially in Therapy and rehabilitation.
5. Local production of assistive devices can help fill the gap of limited access to these devices. One ADC member Kyaninga Child Development Centre is producing a bamboo wheel chair out of locally available materials. This knowledge can be used to produce other devices if we work together.

This was great meeting signaling alot of potential for stronger collaboration and networks for Uganda and beyond.

We are excited to see the next steps,and the future is looking brighter already ✨️
