COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Empowering the community to be the agent of change
Help us create a world with No More Hidden Children!
Creating a world with no more hidden children means not just identifying the children, but reintegrating children into a more accepting, inclusive community. Embrace Kulture works with local leaders, including health workers, community based rehabilitation specialists, and advocates, to empower them to drive change within their community. Our Community Based Interventionist training program was developed with Uganda's leading experts and government officials.
Reintegration is a process conducted over a year. It is run in conjunction with awareness raising efforts and identification of children with disabilities. Village health workers create and maintain parent support groups and local leaders continue to sensitize the community to prepare for reintegration. The child will visit the community for short integration periods until it is determined that it is safe for full integration. Our team continues to monitor the situation with Home Visits. Usually the reintegration of one child results in identification of many more hidden children as the community becomes more accepting and inclusive.
GIVE THE GIFT OF ACCEPTANCE TODAY!
Education is the key to change. It is the one gift that has an impact today and will compound through the life of a child.
