A three-day initiative in Kisumu County, Kenya, has successfully mapped and registered over 500 children with disabilities. This effort aims to connect these children with crucial services including education, healthcare, and government assistance programs. Many of the children had not previously undergone any formal assessment, highlighting the importance of this outreach program. During the mapping exercise, children received screenings for nutritional needs and physiotherapy, and were then directed to suitable institutions for ongoing care. The initiative represents a significant step towards ensuring vulnerable children in Kisumu County receive the support they require. Organizers hope the data collected will facilitate more effective allocation of resources and improved accessibility to services for children with disabilities throughout the region. This mapping exercise is expected to improve the lives of these children and provide them with opportunities for a better future.
