Katalemwa Cheshire Home is a non-governmental organisation that provides holistic rehabilitation services to children and young persons with disabilities. ICPAU is running a campaign to mobilise funding for new facilities at the Home.
The story so far
- 2010: the Institute held a charity walk to raise funds to build a 40-bed dormitory for children with disabilities at the Home.
- 2022: construction had been held back because the land was registered in the name of a former trustee who could not be traced. The Home registered the land in its own name in 2022.
- A new plan: after changes in its governance framework, the Home replaced the dormitory with an early learning centre and a hostel. These will be income-generating facilities that help to sustain the Home.
- 2025: the Home expected to finalise its building plans and begin construction.
