A united voice for families who care every day
NCP-CDK, the Nexus of Caregivers and Parents of Children with Disabilities Kenya, brings families together so that no parent faces the journey alone.
Parents and caregivers, standing side by side
NCP-CDK is the association of caregivers and parents of children with disabilities in Kenya. Our members are mothers, fathers, grandparents, guardians and other caregivers who look after a child with a disability every day.
When caregivers and parents stand side by side, they do more than respond to problems. They change what is possible for their children. We work through advocacy, engagement and steady daily effort so that dignity, rights and inclusion are lived realities for every child with a disability, and for the families who raise them, in all 47 counties.
Our vision
A Kenya where dignity, rights and inclusion are lived realities for every child with a disability, and for the families who raise them.
Our mission
To advocate for, support and empower caregivers and parents of children with disabilities in every county, so that families are informed, connected and heard.
Our principle
“Nothing about our children with disabilities without us.” Families belong at the table whenever decisions affect their children.
What guides our work
Family voice
Parents and caregivers know their children best. We make sure their experience shapes policy and practice.
Dignity
Every child with a disability deserves respect, visibility and a full place in community life.
Inclusion
We push for schools, clinics, services and public spaces that work for all children.
Solidarity
No family should carry this alone. We share knowledge, encouragement and practical help.
Accuracy
We share information drawn from official sources and published research, and point families to the source.
Accountability
We are answerable to our members, and we hold duty-bearers to the promises in the law.
Three ways we create change
Advocacy
We ask national and county governments to fund and enforce disability rights, and to involve parents and caregivers in planning.
Engagement
We connect families by county and by disability, and bring them together with schools, health workers and officials.
Practical support
We help members understand the rules, prepare their papers and follow up on registration, devices, school and health cover.
