Raising awareness of the situation of children living with disabilities
These events help raise awareness about the different disabilities faced by children, the work we do and provide our supporters with exciting opportunities to meet like-minded people and also generate much needed funds to help us meet the increasing demands for our services.
We are super excited about our events and we do hope that you can support us by participating, or sharing information with friends who may be interested in taking part, or sponsoring one of the events.
THE BUIKWE RUN
Keeping the hope alive, breaking the stigma on disabilities.
Join Us for Our Next Event
The Buikwe Run is an annual event that you don’t want to miss! It’s an energetic and dynamic event suitable for runners, walkers, and joggers of all ages and abilities. This family-friendly event aims to promote inclusivity, acceptance, and empowerment for children with disabilities, while also raising awareness and challenging societal stigmas.This year we are fundraising together with those around the world to generate funds for the construction and establishment of a SPACE Uganda physiotherapy and community care centre in Buikwe district.
The centre aims to provide vital therapy services, medical guidance, feeding instructions, motor training, communication support, and educational lessons to thousands of children with disabilities who currently do not have access to such services due to harsh economic conditions, lack of awareness, and abject poverty in rural areas.
Over 2000 target participants are expected to run from all over the country and beyond Uganda; over 20 corporate companies, 30 NGOs, Schools and Hospitals, as well as 15 Running clubs are expected to participate providing an opportunity for networking and collaboration among the various stakeholders.
Together, lets lace up our running shoes and make a difference for children with disabilities in need.
