About this programme

Rehabilitation is not a privilege

For many people living with disabilities in Sierra Leone, rehabilitation remains out of reach because of limited funding, too few rehabilitation professionals, scarce equipment and healthcare resources, and low public awareness.

Without the right support, a stroke survivor may lose independence, a child with cerebral palsy may go without supportive seating or early intervention, and an older adult may be unable to walk safely without a basic mobility aid.

These are barriers to education, employment, social inclusion and everyday life. We believe rehabilitation is a fundamental part of healthcare and human dignity.

Safer worship for older people

After an Occupational Therapy assessment of the building, we supplied and fitted a toilet support frame, a high-back chair with armrests and an emergency call-bell system. Falls-prevention awareness and accessibility work continue.

Impact goal: increase independence, prevent injuries and promote a safe worship environment.
