Triumph Heart" Serving Children with Disabilities in Uganda

  We're excited to announce that next month we'll start home visits! Initially, we will conduct home visits two days a week. We planned to begin with more, and we're working to reach even more families. And here’s some exciting news: a church in Kent has generously gifted us £700 toward purchasing a motorbike for our home visits! Our goal is to raise £1,500, which means we’re already 47% of the way there. We now need to raise the remaining £800 to reach our target. With a motorbike, we can do so much more. Our physiotherapy assistant could spend three days a week out of the village doing home visits. At the same time, our physiotherapist could devote additional days to overseeing cases, supporting the team, implementing therapy programs, and ensuring more people receive the care they need. In the short term, we 'll hire  a bike to get started, but our dream is to own our own motorbike so we can reach many more people. Would you stand with us and help us raise the r...

 Specialised therapy sessions, including physiotherapy and eye coordination activities, empower mobility for a better tomorrow.

 Yesterday’s clinic truly inspired me. I felt a breakthrough, and I'm still filled with excitement! 🌟 For a while, I've wanted to collaborate with Prosy on various activities, and on September 16th, we finally had that opportunity. We played animal bingo, and she grasped how to engage in the game. Despite her challenges with communication due to delayed learning and physical disabilities, she participated actively in animal bingo. 🐾 She understood the game and thrived in the activity. Next, we tackled some jigsaw puzzles. 🧩 She needed a bit of guidance, but it was as if something clicked within her. Those moments are nothing short of magical. ✨ In October, we’ll be increasing our home visits, and I’m genuinely looking forward to that one-on-one time, knowing that Prosy will achieve remarkable things. 🙌 We'll focus on writing, helping her learn, understand, and comprehend. ✍️ She has immense potential, and yesterday's experience reminded me of how much is possible. S...

  We want to say thank you to all who donated toys, computers, and funds during our visit to the UK

  Yesterday's clinic - 2nd September We received 22 kids 2 new children This is a brief overview

  Meet Kirabo and Payasi.   Thanks to your support, these two little ones, who once faced overwhelming odds, are now smiling, learning, and dreaming again. The photographs you see aren’t just pictures; they’re living proof of what hope looks like when a community comes together. Their Stories are attached to the photos.   These children are just two among many, and their stories remind us of the incredible possibilities that arise when kindness turns into action.   Kirabo and Payasi are more than their struggles. They are children with bright smiles, resilient spirits, and futures worth fighting for. What they need now is support—the chance to continue therapy, to grow, and to thrive.    

  Praying With the Mothers   I’ve felt called to pray with our families to uplift them and show them they’re not alone. Many mothers carry deep burdens from their communities, and prayer unites people across different faiths here in Uganda.   When Mama Sheila asked for prayer for her husband to find work, we shifted the focus to her own gifts. This transformation is what we aim for: helping women recognise their worth and strength.   Home Visit: Imuran’s Story During a home visit with Imuran, a young man with a neurological disability, we realised he needs practical living skills for independence. Initially, the activities didn’t engage him, but when we suggested washing his dusty shoes, he became focused and proud. That moment sparked motivation and confidence—a small step toward independence.   A Village That Belongs to Everyone In Uganda, community is everything. We visited a village where everyone belongs and knows each person’s story. If a child wanders off...

  We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who donated. 💖 17th Dec 2025   Yesterday was a truly beautiful day as we distributed our Christmas parcels. 🎄 There was so much joy in the air. We enjoyed speeches, laughter, singing, and dancing together. 🎉   Snacks were shared, sodas were sipped, and yogurts were enjoyed by all. 🍦🥤   What touched us the most was the way the women supported one another. 🤝   Even with very little, they gave generously. Some added fresh produce from their own gardens to help fill another family’s box, while others included small gifts whenever they could. 🎁   The struggles are real, but the love, generosity, and unity we witnessed were truly inspiring. 🌟 We are deeply grateful to everyone who made this possible. 🙏                                                      ...

  Today was lovely. Quiet. Small. Things feel peaceful, but many people feel stuck. So they stay close. They don’t move far. Twelve parents showed up today, and that was enough. Because the group was small, we had time. We slowed down. We went deeper into the exercises. We spent real time with the children. And that made us so happy. Watching Edrine today stayed with me. When he first came to us, he couldn’t walk. Now he’s learning to take a step. He’s strong. He’s courageous. He’s excited. Such a lovely little boy. Mobility is such a gift. One we so often take for granted. Today was a reminder that even quiet days can be full of beauty.    

  Independence is a remarkable gift, and Sam embodies joy—his smile is contagious!  😊   For Sam, independence means rolling over, crawling, and achieving small milestones that often go unnoticed. Last Wednesday at the clinic, we began working with him on rolling over, sitting up independently, and moving with newfound freedom. He is learning to crawl, and each of these achievements helps build his self-confidence.  💪   Sam's true superpower is the unwavering support of his inspiring grandmother. 👵 Despite her many years, her spirit shines brightly.  ✨   Last year, she built him a custom standing frame, demonstrating that together we are giving him one of life’s most precious gifts. 🎁 Watching him grow and thrive is truly awe-inspiring!  🌟  

**When Women Unite, Change Begins**   On February 19th , our mothers and grandmothers made a significant decision to form their own savings circle after months of discussion. 🤝💪   In Uganda, savings circles are a reliable way for women to manage their finances. Each member contributes a small amount, while a committee ensures accountability by keeping clear records and fostering trust among members. 📊✨   Our role is to provide support. The women decided to store their funds on a mobile money SIM card that requires approval from three members for any withdrawals. This system is practical, transparent, and entirely controlled by them. 📱💼   Savings circles can become registered associations, which unlock opportunities for grants and income-generating projects. For many women raising children or grandchildren without external support, this opportunity is invaluable. 🌱💖   Empowering a child starts with empowering women. This savings circle is a crucial step to...

Oh, woman. So strong, yet so vulnerable and powerful.  💪❤️ Yesterday, on March 5th, we received several new children, with about three different cases arriving in quick succession. It felt like moving from one family to another, and then another. With each mother, we sat down, listened, and tried to understand their individual situations. We counseled them about malnutrition, discussed how to feed their children, assessed their needs, and aimed to grasp the full context of their lives. The best counselor for a woman is often another woman who has experienced similar struggles. So, we brought many of the mothers together. We provided a space for them to sit, talk, and encourage one another. They shared their stories and revealed what was truly happening in their homes and hearts. 🤝💬 One child broke my heart. Sometimes, I am still shocked by what I see—the pain and the challenges. A one-year-old child was crying like a newborn. 😢 When you work with children, you learn that a one-...

***A Clinic I Will Never Forget** 🌟   Yesterday’s clinic was the most impactful one I have ever led. From the very beginning, I felt a strong prompting to pray for the women. This wasn’t just a fleeting thought; it lingered with me, persistent and significant, and I knew we needed to create space for it.   We started by inviting prayer requests and shared from Psalm 139:1–3. This simple moment opened the door for deeper sharing as the women began to tell their stories. Their experiences carry real weight. Being a parent of a child with a disability is already challenging, but in communities where stigma and rejection are prevalent, the burden becomes even heavier. 💔   Three women spoke openly. Mama Imruan shared her struggles with her in-laws, believing that her sister-in-law is using witchcraft against her children. Mama Shakira talked about how her husband was robbed, and their home was broken into, leaving her feeling constantly under attack. 😞   As we listened...

  Joram is six years old. When we first met him, he couldn’t stand or walk, and even the simplest movements were a struggle for him. Today, he is learning to walk! 👣 His steps may not be perfect, but he is smiling 😄, laughing 😂, and growing stronger each week. Joram lives with his grandmother after being abandoned by his parents. Thanks to the support of joint orthoses (KFOs), his legs are now properly supported and straightened. 🦵 Regular home visits will also make a significant difference, as they will provide him with the care and attention he needs while allowing us to monitor his progress.  Joram is six years old.

  It is incredibly powerful to see a father bringing his child to the clinic for physiotherapy. 👨‍⚕️👶 Too often, fathers abandon their children when they have a disability. Some deny the condition entirely, while others may claim the child is "not theirs" or insist that there is no history of disability in their family.  In some painful cases, families even refuse to bury the child on family land due to the stigma associated with disabilities. 💔 However, Daddy Precious chose a different path. He decided to stay, to show up, and to embrace love over fear and tradition. ❤️ This choice challenges cultural expectations of masculinity, which often prioritise financial support over emotional presence and care.  The hope is that more fathers will follow his example, choosing to support, accept, and stand by their children with disabilities instead of withdrawing. 🙌🌟
