Project Summaries

CPA Ghana Action Plan

“Embarking on a transformative journey, Multikids Africa in Ghana proudly collaborates with Cerebral Palsy Africa-NL (CPA Netherlands) in a dedicated partnership. Our joint mission revolves around addressing two pressing issues concerning cerebral palsy.

Firstly, we are committed to addressing the issue of suboptimal rehabilitation practices in the management of neurological conditions. By doing so, we aim to enhance the functional outcomes and overall quality of life for children living with cerebral palsy.

Secondly, we recognize the importance of socioeconomic empowerment for low-income families who care for children with cerebral palsy. We understand that breaking the cycle of poverty is essential for ensuring these children receive the care and support they deserve. Together with CPA Netherlands, we are working to uplift these families, providing them with the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.

Our partnership with CPA Netherlands embodies a shared vision of creating a brighter future for children with cerebral palsy and their families. Through our collaborative efforts, we aspire to bring about positive change and make a lasting impact in the lives of those affected by this condition.”

A Million Dreams Summer Camp

This is a yearly week-long summer camp. The camp brings together children from different backgrounds and abilities. It promotes creativity and social inclusion. The camp’s primary objectives are to foster artistic expression, develop friendships, and enhance social integration among participating students.

Incubator Programs

“Multikids Africa is proud to announce its involvement in incubating a new organization, CBR Africa, in partnership with CPA Netherlands. Our joint endeavour centres around capacity building within the special needs sector, with a particular focus on Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR).

CBR Africa represents a dynamic initiative aimed at enhancing the capabilities and expertise within the field of special needs and rehabilitation. Through our partnership with CPA Netherlands, we are committed to empowering individuals, organizations, and communities to provide comprehensive and effective CBR services.

Our vision for CBR Africa is to foster sustainable development within the special needs sector, promoting inclusivity and equal access to essential services. Together, we aspire to build a strong foundation for community-based rehabilitation, enabling individuals with special needs to lead fulfilling lives and participate actively within their communities.

As we embark on this journey, Multikids Africa and CPA Netherlands are excited to support the growth and development of CBR Africa, as we collectively work towards a more inclusive and compassionate world.”
