In 2011, a Cerebral Palsy project started under the National Union of Disabled Persons of Uganda (NUDIPU) after realizing that people with CP were marginalized and not included in the disability movement.
NUDIPU through her partners Disabled People’s Denmark (DPOD) and SPASTIKA Organization (Denmark) entered an agreement to support activities of people with Cerebral Palsy in Uganda. Thus, a project was developed aimed at inclusion and empowerment of people with Cerebral Palsy in Uganda. Throughout the implementation of the project, it became necessary to start the process of forming an association of people with Cerebral Palsy in Uganda.
