Yesterday, we celebrated the milestones achieved in strengthening clubfoot services at Luwero General Hospital together with CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital, Walimu and MiracleFeet.
At Katalemwa Cheshire Home, we provide comprehensive care through treatment services, community awareness and early identification initiatives, strengthen referral pathways and advocacy to dispel myths and misconceptions surrounding clubfoot.
To support successful treatment outcomes, our Assistive Technology Centre (ATC) fabricates and produces clubfoot shoes called Steenbeek Foot Abduction Braces (SFABs), which help maintain corrected feet in their optimal position and prevent relapse.
Therefore, we continue to advance access to quality clubfoot care and improve the lives of children with disabilities and their families.

***STRONG FATHERS BUILD STRONGER FAMILIES***
Katalemwa Cheshire Home (KCH) brought together two support groups of children with disabilities in Buloopa Sub-county to reflect on how group participation and engagement with KCH have strengthened their parenting roles and improved support for their children.

The meeting was attended by the Sub-county Chief Administrative Officer, Community Development Officer, religious leaders, and the cultural leader of Buloopa, demonstrating a shared commitment to promoting inclusive parenting, child wellbeing, and community support for children with disabilities.

In this effort, we are empowering fathers to become active caregivers, advocates, and champions for the rights and potential of every child.

Advocates say the silence, shame and misconceptions surrounding menstruation leave many girls and women without the knowledge, support and resources they need to manage their menstrual health with dignity.

Today, Katalemwa Cheshire Home (KCH), in collaboration with our partners in Gulu, took to the streets along with Gulu Primary School to commemorate Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026!
Under this year’s theme, “Together for a Period Friendly World,” our mission was clear: to shine a spotlight on the unique barriers and experiences that girls with disabilities face when managing menstrual hygiene in schools.
From an energetic brass band marching through Gulu City town to meaningful dialogues at Gulu Primary School, we raised our voices for inclusivity, dignity, and equal access to menstrual health resources.
Menstruation is a natural part of life, but managing it with dignity shouldn't be a privilege. We must continue to dismantle the stigmas and structural barriers that keep girls with disabilities from participating in the classroom.
We thank all partners and stakeholders in standing with KCH to raise this alarm
