HI in Uganda is currently implementing development and humanitarian interventions in six sectors/thematic areas: Livelihood, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), Physical and Functional Rehabilitation, Inclusive Education, Inclusive Health, and Inclusive Humanitarian Action (IHA) to improve access and quality of services to the most vulnerable people including persons with disabilities promoting a more inclusive and harmonious society.

Project Background:

The CHANCE Project is a pilot multi-year, multi-sectoral, integrated rehabilitation and psychosocial projects to enhance every child’s right to survive and thrive from pre-conception to adolescence. The project targets children at risk of developmental delay and disability due to malnutrition and children with disability at a young age. The project also integrates innovative 3D technologies, including digital scanning, computer-aided design (CAD), and additive manufacturing of 3D printed Orthoses and Prostheses to improve access to customized assistive devices.

The intervention focuses on children’s physical (gross and fine motor), cognition, social interaction and emotional regulation, speech, language, and sensory awareness to improve the quality of life of children and reinforce positive parenting. It also builds the capacity of parents, caregivers, and other stakeholders to identify, prevent, and manage children’s health and well-being, following the Nurturing Care Framework (NCF) in achieving children’s optimal development. An integrated team of rehabilitation professionals (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language therapy) and child psychology deliver the services to the children, the parents and the caregivers.

The project applies the Nexus Approach in serving the refugee populations and host communities in Terego district through the strong involvement of local and multiple operational partners, community structures, and other stakeholders.
