Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped
New Kiln for KSPH
Kampala
School for the Physically Handicapped (KSPH) was once the only operating
school for physically & mentally challenged children in
Uganda. This year it celebrates its 50th anniversary and is
still a beacon of hope for children so easily ignored. Today, its 40
staff members and numerous volunteers serve nearly 200 children at the boarding
school. KSPH provides a formal education through Primary 7, physical
therapy & rehabilitation, and vocational training. Its mission
is to educate, rehabilitate and equip physically handicapped children for
self-reliance and development. It has radically changed the
perception of the physically challenged in Uganda.
11 years ago a kiln was donated to the school for the vocational training program at the school. KSPH became the only manufacturer of ceramic beads in Uganda. For nearly a decade the kiln provided a unique avenue for artistic pursuits, marketing and income for both students and the school. Unfortunately, last year the kiln failed to the point that further repairs were deemed untenable and ceramic bead making at the school has come to an end.
Help us raise $6000 in 2020 for a new kiln!
