About us

Kyaninga Child Development Centre (KCDC) was founded in 2014 to transform the lives of children with disabilities (CwDs) in Ugan da through a holistic, multisectoral approach spanning healthcare, rehabilitation, education, mobility, livelihoods and advocacy. Over the past decade, this model has revolutionised care, promoted rights, and earned national recognition.

An estimated 13% (2.5 million) of children in Uganda live with a disability, yet access to healthcare and rehabilitation remains limited, placing an enormous financial strain on families. Stigma, often rooted in beliefs that disability is contagious or caused by witchcraft, further isolates families and discourages them from seeking help.
