Empowering Rakai’s Disabled Community

Overcoming Barriers for Rakai’s Disabled

People with disabilities in Rakai District frequently encounter significant societal and physical barriers limiting their potential. Access to essential healthcare, tailored education, and sustainable livelihood opportunities can be severely restricted. Furthermore, acquiring necessary assistive devices, such as wheelchairs, crutches, or hearing aids, often presents an insurmountable financial and logistical challenge for many families.

Beyond the physical and resource limitations, persistent social stigma and misconceptions surrounding disability can lead to profound isolation and exclusion from vital community life. This lack of inclusion not only hinders personal development and economic participation but also deeply affects mental and emotional well-being, denying individuals their fundamental right to belong and be treated with dignity.

Our Disability Support & Inclusion program directly confronts these multifaceted challenges. We are committed to breaking down barriers and fostering an environment where every person with a disability in Rakai can live a fulfilling, independent, and respected life within their community.

Impact story from an elder in Rakai
"Before the Lusi Namatovu Foundation stepped in, I struggled to move around with my old, broken crutches, and I felt isolated from my community. They provided me with a new wheelchair and connected me to a local support group where I now have friends who understand me. Their care has given me the confidence to live more independently. I feel seen and valued again."
Nalubega, 26, Rakai District
