Help Gertrude Hospital Foundation by donating mobility devices like wheelchairs for children with special needs
Here's a little more info about this opportunity...
People with disabilities (PWDs) in Kenya often face barriers stemming from low levels of education and insufficient skills, which significantly impede their ability to compete in the labor market. Recognizing these challenges, this project is designed to address the unique context of PWDs in Kenya by focusing on enhancing their social and communication skills, promoting social inclusion, and improving functional abilities. By targeting children with special needs between the ages of 5 to 21 years, the project seeks to lay a strong foundation for their long-term employability prospects, considering the localized challenges they face.
Helpful tips
Stay safe
- 1. Don’t pass any personal information to people you haven’t met offline before.
- 2. When meeting one of your contacts offline for the first time, always be sure to arrange to meet in a public place.
- 3. Make sure that you are not left alone with someone that you have never met before.
- 4. Know where you’re going. If you’re headed off the beaten track or into an unfamiliar part of town, be sure you have directions and a GPS or map book.
- 5. If you feel unsafe, consult the person in charge and let him or her know.
- 6. Avoid wearing expensive jewellery: it could get damaged, lost or stolen.
- 7. Ask, ask, ask! If you’re worried about something or concerned about your safety in a certain situation, ask the person in charge.
