Special Needs
In 2015 a programme for children with disabilities was launched. This programme aims to reach children outside Uzima as well as funding a Special Needs Class.
At Uzima, children with disabilities are supported in a variety of ways:
-
Three children attend nearby Nangina Special School (boarding)
-
Two young adults who are deaf attend a nearby high school for the deaf
-
Children within Uzima who have additional needs have extra support on a daily or weekly basis.
-
2 support groups meet monthly for parents/ carers of children with special needs
-
Several children have received wheelchairs
-
A small number of children with disabling conditions such as club foot, osteomyelitis and hydrocephalus have had surgical treatment provided with funds from Uzima.
-
Two children receive regular medication for epilepsy
-
