1.0. Project Title: A Community Based Rehabilitation Project for Children
with Disabilities
5.0. Proposed Project Location: Nakawa Banda parish
6.0 Project Duration: 3 years
7.0. Summary of the Project
EDC is a project located in Banda Nakawa division whose main purpose is to provide education to children with disabilities. Currently EDC is seeking a grant to expand its child intervention program for the purpose of helping children with disabilities. The objective is to create a center to provide a conducive place for children with disabilities to come and be heard, educated, supported and have an opportunity to live a dignified life.
EDC currently has land for construction of centre complex with boarding facilities, classrooms, vocational training workshops and teacher’s accommodation for the children with disability. EDC project will also offer community sensitization about the rights of people with disabilities.
8.0 Description of focal problem
There exist negative attitudes and social taboos against People with Disabilities (PWD) in many parts of the World and that includes BANDA. This leads to the neglect of these vulnerable people hampering the development of their God-given potentials. To many parents, it is a waste of resources and an unnecessary bother to send the physically challenged such as the deaf, the blind or the cripple to school. These children are usually marginalized. EDC is at the frontline to support children with disabilities. The majority of children with disabilities in rural areas have no access to any kind of rehabilitation services. We observed that there is no close attention and supervision to their education and health needs. The children are regarded as a burden to their families and often suffer discrimination. Their personal hygiene is often in pathetic conditions as little attention and care is accorded to them. In view of this situation, EDC proposes to create a Centre which is intended to offer a programme for supporting child development in view of children with disabilities.

10.0 Functions of the center
- a) Boarding Facility:
The Centre is intended to provide children with accommodation. The reason for this is that more
often these children are marginalized in their families and suffer neglect and social isolation. These are children with special needs, require specialized personal care.
At the center there will be keen supervision accorded to the children and close monitoring of their health.
- b) Literary Facility:
Two classrooms will be set up to provide elementary literacy exposure to children i.e. sign language for the deaf and, Braille writing for the blind. After that the children will be fixed in circular schools to receive academic preparation.
- c) Recreation Facility:
These children also need to play and sing to refresh their brains. A recreation hall will be set up and equipped with games suitable for the children
- d) Skills Training
Children, especially those who are slow at learning (academic), will be taught skills through craft work. This is intended to enable them to learn an employable skill for a productive, self-reliant and successful life during adulthood.
