Dasaroot Foundation CP & Autism Support · Uganda
What We Do

Five ways we work alongside children and the people raising them.

Therapy & Caregiving

Every child deserves the chance to move, communicate, and grow.

We provide physiotherapy and speech therapy sessions, alongside wheelchairs, standing frames, and therapy tools. We train parents in simple exercises they can repeat at home, so progress continues between visits — not just during them.

Learning & Early Intervention

Children with CP and autism learn differently — we help them succeed.

Sensory toys, communication boards, and adapted learning materials meet children where they are. We train teachers and parents in early intervention and inclusive teaching for children aged 0–5, the years when it matters most.

Family & Caregiver Support

Behind every child is a caregiver who needs support too.

Monthly parent support groups, counselling, and skills training help caregivers earn an income, ease the daily strain, and lean on a community that understands exactly what they're carrying.

Awareness & Inclusion

Stigma keeps many children hidden. We're changing that.

Through school and church outreach, radio talks, and events for World CP Day and World Autism Day, we teach communities that CP and autism are medical conditions — not curses. We also work with local leaders to make schools and public spaces more inclusive.

Awareness & Inclusion
Donations & Fundraising

We rely on Global support to fund this work.

Our "One Shilling for Hope" campaign gathers coins and notes from schools, shops, and churches — alongside in-kind gifts like diapers, food, toys, and mobility aids. 100% of what's given goes directly to children's therapy, equipment, and family support.
