In 2019 we broke ground on the Ubuntu Life Children's Wellness Centre (CWC), a combined special needs school and pediatric medical facility that will generate enormous impact for children in our region and across Kenya.
The Centre will house a special needs school and pediatric medical facility with a walk-up pharmacy, community health education space, and therapy areas.
Expanded therapy rooms will allow us to hire additional occupational and speech therapists, which will lead to developmental gains for all current patients and hundreds more special-needs children.
Access to pharmacy space will allow us to dispense medications on-site, creating higher caliber ongoing care for patients and the ability to offer life-saving medicine to children in all our health, education, and therapy programs.
Impact
Our medical program will expand into a state-of-the-art clinic space, allowing us to provide critical health care to thousands of children a year and become a beacon for subspecialty medical care.
Our education and therapy programs for children with special needs will flourish with twice as much space, bringing more children out of the shadows and empowering them to live healthy, dignified lives.
