Overlooking stunning Lake Kyaninga with the backdrop of the Rwenzori mountains beyond, Kyaninga Lodge is the spectacular result of one man’s vision.
It took six years of unwavering commitment and over one thousand hand carved logs to create an experience of Africa unlike anywhere else.
Kyaninga Lodge offers nine exclusive luxury cottages, a SPA with sauna, small gym and swimming pool, clay tennis court and is surrounded by unspoilt natural beauty with breathtaking vistas.
With just 1 hour drive from the Kibale National Park.
Kyaninga Child Development Centre (KCDC) was established in 2014 to protect and promote the rights of children with disabilities (CWDS) and their families in Uganda.
By implementing a multisectoral, holistic approach that includes healthcare, rehabilitation, education, and social inclusion, Kyaninga Child Development Centre (KCDC) has revolutionised the care and promoted the rights of Children with Disabilities (CwDs) in Uganda over the past ten years and gained national recognition. An estimated 13% (2.5 million) of children in Uganda have a disability, with limited access to healthcare and rehabilitation, which puts a strain on families financially and widespread stigma makes them reluctant to ask for assistance.
We have just over 100 staff working across our four core program areas. Operating across 1,000 square kilometres in western Uganda, our CBR program supports over 1,000 children monthly. Our team of 30 professional therapists provides rehabilitation services, caregiver training, and community outreach through 27 community health centres.
In response to our families’ feedback and alarmingly low school attendance rate of just 9% among children with disabilities in Uganda, we launched the Kyaninga Inclusive Education Hub in 2020. The Hub is dedicated to ensuring all children have access to inclusive, equitable, high-quality education. We are supporting the implementation of inclusive education by training teachers and headteachers in 18 regional schools, using our Kyaninga Inclusive Model School (KIMS) as a practical tool and demonstration site for what inclusive, supportive learning can look like for children of all abilities.
