Special Children Special People - SCSP

Special Children Special People - SCSP SCSP is an NGO that advocates for and promotes an understanding of disability issues through education, mobilizing support for their dignity and rights.

Although all children have a right to be educated, this right was not easy to be implemented earlier in Uganga. Children with disability were not being catered for neither being considered as worthy educable. Uganda like all developing countries saw the need to develop the activities of Special Education to meet the needs of children with disabilities. In the beginning, the provision of Special Ed

ucation was purely in the hands of the Non Government Organization (NGO) who were mainly missionaries and some relatives who needed to educate their children or relatives. The development of services for persons with disabilities was either hindered or accelerated by the perception and conceptions a community had concerning the target group. Uganda Government did not posses any legislation as regards the education of persons with disability before 1980. People with disabilities were taken as sick, possessed or cast. This tremendously affected the delivery of educational services to them. The Ministry Of Education then established a sector of Special Education within its structure in 1983.

This Thursday was one of those days that remind you why this work matters.

We held a Tri-cycle distribution at Special Children Special People, and this time, we made sure the right people were in the room.

Local council leaders, community leaders, and faith-based heads joined us alongside the families we serve. Not as guests, but as witnesses. Because when community leaders see what disability looks like up close - the children, the caregivers, the daily reality — things begin to shift.

We talked about SCSP's programs. We discussed what children with disabilities need and what is often unavailable. And then we handed over the tri-cycles into the hands of people who needed them.

None of this happens without our partners. A huge thank you to for making this donation possible. Your support doesn't just fund equipment, it funds belonging.

If you've been wondering how to get involved or support this work, this is what it looks like on the ground. Real families. Real change. Real community.

Most people see the smiling photo.
They don't see what came before it.

At SCSP, a typical day looks like this:

A therapist arrives early to prepare adaptive materials — by hand — because there is no budget for commercial tools.

A parent travels 3 hours with a child in a wheelchair, because no transport is equipped for them closer to home.

A social worker makes her 6th call of the day trying to secure a school placement for a child with cerebral palsy, who has been on a waiting list for two years.

A child who couldn't make eye contact six months ago holds a block, looks up, and passes it to someone else.

That last moment is why we exist.

But it doesn't happen without the hours before it.

For 13 years, SCSP has been running this daily reality in Kampala — providing therapy, rehabilitation, inclusive education, and family support to children with disabilities who have no other option.

The gap between what these children need and what the system provides is not a programme design problem.

It is a resourcing problem.

We are looking for partners who share this understanding.

If you work in disability inclusion, education, or child welfare — let's connect.

👇 Share this if you believe every child deserves access to care, regardless of ability.

Disowned by my Own!

Sadly, many children with neurodevelopmental disabilities in Uganda still face stigma, neglect, and abuse. Misunderstanding, poverty, and fear often leave them among society’s most vulnerable.

Earlier this week, a little boy around 5 years old with cerebral palsy was abandoned infront of a building around Kabalagala. A good Samaritan alerted the Police, with the support of the Makindye Probation Office and the Ministry of Gender, he was referred to Special Children Special People (SCSP) for temporary shelter and care in a loving and understanding family.

At SCSP, we believe that every child deserves love, dignity, and a sense of belonging. In case you know or have heard of a family with a missing child, kindly reach out to Kabalagala police station or the probation office Makindye, to help him reunite with his family.

Join us in protecting and restoring dignity for children with disabilities by donating, volunteering, or sharing our story.

Together, we can end stigma and build a community that values every child.

Music for All: SCSP Children Shine Through Sound

At Special Children Special People (SCSP), we believe every child deserves a chance to express themselves—loudly, proudly, and joyfully.

This week, our children took center stage, showcasing their musical talents through a vibrant band session supported by our dedicated partners . Among the performers were children with autism, Down syndrome, physical challenges, intellectual disabilities, and mainstream learners, playing side by side backed up by teachers.

Their shared rhythm sent out a clear message: inclusion is not just possible—it’s powerful.
Music has become more than an activity. It's:
• A therapy for non-verbal children
• A confidence builder for those often left behind
• A bridge between children of different abilities
• A safe space for self-expression, joy and social interaction.

Through music, our learners find voice, identity, and community.
We are grateful to for not just donating instruments but also training our teachers and helping our children feel seen, heard, and celebrated.

Want to support inclusion in action?

We are looking for more partners who believe in empowering children with disabilities through arts, therapy, and education.

Reach out to us to collaborate, donate, sponsor a music therapist, or simply to connect and learn from each other.

Let’s keep the music playing—for every child.
