The special needs community in Kenya is neglected. Their families and communities disown them. The government schools are under staffed, undersupplied and underfunded. Gibson, the principle at Kakamega School For The Deaf, told us that 90% of the boys and girls at their school have been sexually and physically abused. When these kids return home many of them are locked in closets to save their families from embarrassment. The common belief in Kenya is that these kids are cursed.
Waweza Movement is taking strides to bring relief to this forgotten community. We began a partnership with Kakamega School For The Deaf in 2014. Currently we are providing relief for these children. They were eating one meal a day and protein one time per month. Partnering with the principle of the school we are delivering food, clothes and learning materials.
We are committed to the special needs community moving forward. As we work towards sustainability we will be starting a home for special needs children. At our home the kids will receive the individualized care they need. They will have a nutritious diet provided. We will employ specialists who will help the kids work through physical and emotional trauma. We will be able to ensure they are receiving a relevant education. Most importantly we will be able to either help place them with a job or employ them in one of our sustainable businesses.
