Having a child with special-needs, especially severe to profound intellectual disabilities, such as cerebral palsy, usually brings parents overwhelming financial costs of caring for the child. Important therapeutic routines such as physiotherapy and speech therapy as well as purchase of assistive gadgets are important in order to enable the child to begin the journey of life-long learning.
Chinua Children Care Foundation, named after the founder’s son living with lissencephaly (a rare brain disorder) and cerebral palsy was born out of passion to join in creating awareness about the importance of education for special-needs children in Africa; and assisting low-income families in providing managerial care and assistive gadgets for their special-needs children.
