Helping Children of Ethiopia with Disabilities
At Kenna for Kids with Disabilities, we are deeply committed to serving Ethiopian children with disabilities, eradicating the stigma associated with disability, and empowering children and their families within their communities. As a non-profit organization, we focus on transforming the lives of Ethiopian children aged 3 to 21 who encounter the challenges of living with disabilities. Our holistic approach centers around breaking down societal stigmas, delivering essential resources, and creating an enabling environment where these children can thrive.
Some of our efforts include:
Breaking Stigmas and Fostering Inclusion
A core component of our mission is challenging and dismantling the stigmas surrounding disability, particularly among the younger generation. By educating communities and families about the unique abilities and potential of children with disabilities, we work hard to create a more inclusive and accepting society.
Providing Essential Resources
We recognize every child’s inherent right to access necessities. In Ethiopia, children with disabilities often struggle to secure essentials such as food, clothing, and healthcare. Our organization is dedicated to addressing these critical needs, significantly enhancing the quality of life for these children.
Healthcare for All Children
A core component of our mission is challenging and dismantling the stigmas surrounding disability, particularly among the younger generation. By educating communities and families about the unique abilities and potential of children with disabilities, we work hard to create a more inclusive and accepting society.
Empowering Parents and Guardians
We acknowledge the pivotal role that parents and guardians play in the lives of disabled children. Kenna Kids collaborates closely with families, offering valuable information and support to help them better understand their child’s condition and how they can facilitate their development.
How We Help Kids Move Forward
Our ultimate goal is to empower disabled children to achieve the highest level of independence possible. We firmly believe every child can make meaningful contributions to society regardless of their abilities. Our programs equip these children with the skills and resources to secure a meaningful livelihood and actively participate in their communities.
Specialized Education and Community-Based Rehabilitation
Kenna for Kids with Disabilities specializes in implementing special needs and inclusive education programs. We firmly believe that education is a fundamental right for every child, and we are committed to promoting educational opportunities for children and youths with disabilities in Ethiopia.
To achieve this, we employ a community-based rehabilitation (CBR) strategy, addressing the basic needs of children with disabilities and ensuring they have access to quality education.
Creating Inclusive Environments
Our dedication to promoting accessible physical and social environments aims to empower children with disabilities to participate fully in their communities. By creating welcoming and supportive spaces, we break down barriers that hinder their engagement.
Improving Access to Healthcare Services
Ethiopian children with disabilities face numerous obstacles when seeking quality healthcare. These barriers include limited infrastructure, lack of awareness, and inadequate resources. Kenna for Kids with Disabilities recognizes the urgent need to address these challenges and enhance healthcare access for disabled children.
Our organization works to improve access to medical treatments for disabled children in Ethiopia. We aim to remove barriers to accessing healthcare services, thereby enhancing the physical, behavioral, and psychological health of the country’s disabled children.
We invite you to join us in transforming lives and creating a more inclusive society where every child in Ethiopia, regardless of their abilities, can thrive and contribute to improving their communities.
Together, we can make a difference and ensure that all children with disabilities in Ethiopia have the opportunities and support they deserve.
