In April this year, I was privileged to travel to Uganda with Chris (Chair) and Becky (Trustee) to see first-hand some of the amazing work supported by Accomplish Children’s trust. I’ve chosen five words to sum up my experience…. Tenacity: On our first day we travelled with the epilepsy outreach team based at Kagando Hospital to visit several clinics funded by Accomplish, which reach up into the remote Rwenzori mountains. The epilepsy outreach team includes skilled medic

In April I had the privilege of returning to Samburu County in northern Kenya to visit Naijipu Oasis of Hope, a remarkable local organisation supporting children with developmental disabilities and their families. One of the greatest joys was seeing how much has changed since our training together in 2024.

Yet our work is equally about the women who care for them: the mothers, grandmothers, and family members whose love and resilience sustain these children every day. For many families, disability is only one of the challenges they face. Poverty, limited access to

In 2022 we introduced our biggest project to date – APT Kenya, a project that makes postural support equipment for children with disability using cardboard and paper and is providing employment that helps families out of poverty. Although The jabori Foundation (formerly known as The Potter’s House CBO) was founded in 2018 and Appropriate Paper-Based Technology (APT) had been known about and learnt by the founder since 2017, it wasn’t until 2022 that God answered our prayers f
