All proceeds from the Gala Dinner Auction will go towards Global Care’s 35th Anniversary Appeal. We want to raise a minimum of £35,000 to develop new initiatives

targeting children with mobility difficulties in rural Rukungiri.

Children with disabilities in Uganda find it very difficult to access education, due not only to discrimination from their communities and families but also to access problems. Schools are not built to be accessible, and appropriate transport in rural areas such as Rukungiri can be impossible.

Our pilot project will support up to 20 children with disabilities in tackling the challenges they face in accessing education, working with their families and local schools. This will include making school buildings fully accessible, supplying mobility aids, supporting transport options as well as providing learning materials and welfare support. After the first year, we hope to use the evidence from the pilot project to target effective sustainable solutions, helping more children with disabilities access education.
