What we do
Our projects
Our projects are tailored at Creating awareness and an advocacy on Children with Cerebral Palsy and other Special Needs nationwide
Capacity Building
We meet quarterly to train and motivate parents of children with special needs to be creative in terms of using locally available materials to generate value-added products to support their financial needs
awareness creation
We educate and create awareness about children with special needs (Cerebral Palsy) to debunk the myths society has about them.
Public Health CARE
Hand-in-hand with the districts in Kumasi and its environs, we liaise with professionals around the disability spaces to provide basic health screening, health talks on management and preventive measures to reduce or curb the occurrences of special needs children (Cerebral Palsy) cases
Fundamental Human Rights
One of our core aim is to fight for the fundamental human rights of single parents and their children. We Raise awareness in society about the challenges faced by single-parent households and the importance of supporting them without judgment or stigma.
ACHIEVEMENT
KSPC Foundation founded on the pillars of creative and conducive environments for kids with special needs has achieved a lot in terms of our advocacy. The foundation also focuses on improving health care for the families as well as children with special needs (CP).
KSPC has a health centre operating at Danpong at Asanti Akyem and at Kenyasi in Kumasi Ashanti Region to give special health care to kids with special needs as CP. We also provide general health care services. The foundation also work with a medical team, civil societies, social welfare, Orthodox medicine associations and other interested groups to help solve the challenges of children with cerebral palsy in the country.
We have been able to enforce our advocacy by being the first civil society organization working on children with special needs to have a program at Manhyia Palace with the Queen Mother in May, 2017.
Persons with disability and especially kids with Cerebral Palsy were seen as a taboo to be welcomed to the Palace. (www.ghananewsagency.org Asantehemaa pledges to support children with cerebral palsy)
KSPC Foundation was able to change the status quo by having the Queen herself giving her pledge and support to our project as well as pronouncing a decree against all persons who will call these kids as kids from the rivers (Nsuo Mma) cursed children.
Our oncoming TV program is our advocacy and awareness project to speed up the inclusion of children with special needs in the country.
Our members of the 43 support group, one group in each district in Ashanti Region is 2,100 families with special needs kids and still counting. 1,011 kids out of the number have cerebral palsy and over 4000 members across the nation. Mothers in these support groups are trained in bleach and soap making and other trades as a means of making money to care for their wards.
We annually host these mothers and their wards at the Appiahene CP Respite & Home on the World CP Day celebrations to encourage ourselves, to educate and revamp the advocacy to promote an all inclusive environment for cerebral palsy and other kids with birth defects. Our recent CP celebration was supported by the Catholic Bishop and the British Council in Kumasi.
