Story
Kyaninga Inclusive Model School (KIMS) desperately needs a school bus. Hazardous dirt paths and busy unsafe roads are a reality for most children in Uganda, but for Children with Disabilities (CWDs), for whom this long daily walk is impossible, education is not a reality.
In rural communities in Uganda, disability can be associated with witchcraft and demonisation. As a result, CWDs are often hidden for fear of scorn and ridicule, and many children remain unreached and neglected.
KIMS is a unique school located in Western Uganda. The inclusive school offers an engaging and child-centred education to a diverse group of children, including CWDs and typical learners from very different socio-economic backgrounds. Our vision is a joyful place where children are empowered to explore their potential within an environment of growth and well-being. One school bus will access outlying villages, where many children with disabilities (CWDs) are losing hope.
91% of CWDs in Uganda are not enrolled in primary school. Those who do attend are more likely to be excluded from the classroom, fail to progress, and consequently drop out.
Without a school bus, children with disabilities in rural communities cannot access school. Your contribution could give 30 unreached children with disability the high-quality education they deserve and the hope of a brighter future.
