A united voice for families who care every day
We bring families together so they do not have to face the challenges alone. 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.

- Share experiencesReal stories, advice and encouragement from Kenyan parents and caregivers.
- Local supportFind families in your own county who understand, close to home.
- Advocate for changeA stronger, collective voice for inclusive policies and equal rights.

From the first diagnosis to adulthood

Early signs & diagnosis

Registering each person with a disability with NCPWD on eCitizen and linking all of them to your NCP-CDK Caregiver Card.

Caregiver Card
Register every person with a disability in your family
Government support for persons with disabilities begins with registration at the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD). Your NCP-CDK Caregiver Card is linked to those registrations — whether you care for one person or several, and whether they are children or adults.
Get assessed
Disability assessment at a gazetted government hospital for each person with a disability.
Apply on eCitizen
Register each PWD online and receive an SMS confirmation. One NCPWD card per person.
Link your Caregiver Card
Your card shows all the PWDs in your care. Multiple caregivers (e.g. both parents) can link to the same PWD.
