The non-profit is a registered Christian charity. It was started by a Ugandan for Ugandan people living in extreme poverty. These individuals are marginalized by their communities. We work directly with Children with disabilities in collaboration with their parents.
We focus on helping children living with disabilities. Our work started when he encountered a situation in one of the Kampala slums in 2015. Going on about his business he met a disabled child who appeared helpless and unattended to. The ground where she was sitting was muddy and evidently did all her business from the same spot (feeding and toileting). He continued walking on, but this picture proved disturbing. He kept feeling convicted. Like many others who always passed this girl, he was ignoring her suffering. In the UK where he lived, he had been involved in helping vulnerable people working for organizations in the health and social care sector. When he returned to the UK, he felt a strong conviction. He believed he needed to do something to improve the life chances of this girl.
Penny was living with profound multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) and relied on the mercy and help of others. Together with his wife, they shared his experience with a few Christian friends. They prayed and raised funds for professional support. This support helped get the child off the muddy ground. It enabled the child to engage, interact, and play with other children of the neighborhood. We left Penny capable of feeding herself. She lost excessive weight because of the standing frame we got her enabling routine exercises. Penny no longer sat for long periods unattended to; her mother was taught simple home based daily routine exercises. Her entire life was changed by simple acts of kindness from strangers. We realized we can change the world, one child at a time with love and kindness in action.
