Kupenda means 'to love' in Swahili

We love children with disabilities by standing alongside them in advocating for their right to Health, Education, and Inclusion.

In countless nations, including our main field site in Kenya, many people believe that children with disabilities are cursed and unworthy of these rights.

However, when local leaders have a correct perception of disability, many begin to include these children in community life and support them in accessing high-quality health and education services.

We believe this locally driven action is the answer to meaningful, sustainable support for these children and long-term benefits for those that come after them.
