Disability Care and Support Workshop For Traditional Healers

We recognize Traditional Healers as the most influential community leaders who can stand and advocate for the Rights of children with disabilities if they have been empowered to fully understand issues surrounding disabilities. Putting this in our mind, we held a one day Disability Care and Support workshop with them on Wednesday 17th May, 2023 at Kibaoni Social Hall in Sokoni Ward within Kilifi County.

Traditional Healers have a strong influence on community belief and practices although some  support and advocate for children with disabilities, many others conduct harmful “healing” practices and share inaccurate information that encourages stigma and discrimination, neglect and abuse of these children.

When we  advocate and empower Traditional Healers, they refer children with disabilities for medical care and advocate for their rights and inclusion in their communities.
