Who we are

About Us

Who we are

Country Child Network is a community-rooted organisation in Hoima District, Uganda. We work so children living with disabilities (CLWDs) — and their peers in rural and urban settings — can access education, health, dignity, and belonging. We design programmes with families and schools, not for them.

Mission

Fostering inclusion through advocacy and community engagement.

Vision

A society where inclusion is the norm, not an expectation.

Principles

Core values

Everything we design with schools and families starts from these commitments.

Advocacy

We amplify the needs and voices of children living with disabilities and push for systemic change.

Respect

We honour diversity, dignity, and the inherent worth of every person.

Innovation

We seek creative, practical solutions that match the evolving needs of CLWDs and their communities.

Empowerment

We help children living with disabilities realise their potential and lead fulfilling lives.

Collaboration

Lasting impact comes from partnership — with families, schools, local leaders, NGOs like BOCODEV, and allies across Uganda.

What this looks like in practice

Education access

Back-to-School drives at Buseruka, Kiseke, Bujalya and other schools — scholastic materials, pads, and fee support for vulnerable learners.

Menstrual dignity

Save a Month educates girls and boys, distributes pads, and trains reusable-pad skills so periods never stop progress.

Recognition

Nominated for the Redvocate Awards 2026 by the International Menstrual Hygiene Coalition for menstrual dignity advocacy.
