About This Project:
Creating a world for kids with intellectual disabilities in Lusaka, Zambia.
Special Hope Network exists to bring glory to God by creating a world where all kids are valued. We impact communities by improving care for kids with intellectual disabilities. This starts by bringing hope and equipping families and caregivers to provide these children with a loving home, holistic health care, and exceptional education and therapies.
Studies in low-income, middle-income countries in Sub-Sharan Africa have shown that many parents perceive severe disability as worse than death, and ironically, some families might even view premature death as a welcome relief because of the substantial lifetime costs of supporting disabled children without any social welfare benefits, especially in rural settings. Special Hope Network has stepped in the Zambian community where the government has not. We are currently working with 325 children and their care givers in 5 Community Care Centers around Lusaka, Zambia. Our Community Outreach teams have trained over 250 community advocates for children with intellectual disabilities.
YOUR PARTNERSHIP CHANGES EVERYTHING.
When you give to Special Hope, you impact communities by improving care for kids with intellectual disabilities and empowering families and caregivers. Prayerfully consider joining our Special Hope Network donor team.
