UGANDA NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CEREBRAL PALSY

We offer community support services; these are a great services for new parents to get tips and advice from those who have already been through many of the early struggles of raising a child with cerebral palsy. By talking with people who have been in your shoes, parents and caregivers come out feeling more prepared for their family’s future.

Relieve stress and frustration.
Offer hope and an optimistic perspective.
Let families know that their struggles are not uncommon.
Find reassurance and understanding.
Provide a platform to share obstacles and achievements.

We ensure that families and children with CP have access to support through our community network supported by parents/caregivers groups. We match experienced, trained “Support Parents” with families in need. The groups are typically started and led by parents/caregivers of children with CP.
Through our community based services, we promote reliable -sustainable basic quality health home care services for children with CP within their communities.
