Practical Help
On special anniversaries such as World Cerebral Palsy Day and World Autism Day we provide practical support to some of the most needy parents of these children. Too often mothers are left to care for the child alone and the need for constant care makes it very difficult for them to go out to work. We offer some support with basic food needs, diapers and sometimes therapeutic devices.

Advocacy
Through our facebook page we share our stories and campaign on issues that are important to our special children. We have been successful with a campaign for example in persuading Proctor and Gamble to introduce a larger size 7 of their Pampers diapers to cater for children with cerebral palsy especially who may need to continue using diapers into their teenage years. We also communicate with the government and other organisations about the special needs of these children.
