Membership: a community behind your family
One registration fee, a small monthly ratiba, and thousands of families who understand. Here is what membership gives you and how it works.
What you get as a member
A community
Connect with families by county and by disability category. Share experiences and encouragement.
Caregiver Card
One card linked to all the PWDs in your care — children, siblings, or family members. Multiple caregivers for the same person are all recognised.
Guidance & follow-up
Help with legal, health, education, therapy and assistive device processes, and with the paperwork — for every PWD in your household.
A stronger voice
Your membership adds weight to advocacy for inclusive policies and equal rights for all persons with disabilities.
Member dashboard
Track payments, manage profiles for all your PWDs, and request support online. Add new PWDs at any time.
Know-how
Plain-language briefings on your rights, public programmes and what changes in policy mean for you.
Simple, affordable, paid by M-Pesa
Membership costs a one-time registration fee and a small monthly contribution, the ratiba, which keeps county meetings, training and support running.
When does the ratiba start? Only after your membership is approved. It is then charged automatically through M-Pesa each month.
Who can join?
- Parents of a child with a disability
- Guardians, grandparents and other caregivers responsible for a child with a disability
- Families in any of Kenya’s 47 counties, and Kenyans abroad in the diaspora
- Your child does not need to be registered with NCPWD yet. We can help with that.

Four steps from sign-up to support
Register and pay
Fill in the online form and pay the registration fee by M-Pesa.
We verify
Our team checks your ID and the NCPWD cards of all linked PWDs. Foreign nationals: passport or alien certificate accepted.
Ratiba is set up
After approval, your KSh 100 monthly ratiba starts through M-Pesa.
Your dashboard opens
Track payments, manage profiles for all your PWDs, and add more PWDs at any time.
Have these ready
Registration takes about ten minutes. It helps to have the following at hand.
- Your national ID number
- An M-Pesa registered phone number
- Your child’s full name, age and disability category
- Your child’s NCPWD number, if registered
- Optional: photos or scans of your ID, the child’s NCPWD card and your passport photo
Membership questions
Is the registration fee refundable?
No. The KSh 1,000 registration fee is one-time and non-refundable.
What if a PWD is not yet registered with NCPWD?
You can still apply. Leave the NCPWD number blank and follow our registration guide. Verification is completed once registration is done.
Can I register more than one PWD?
Yes — there is no limit. Add the first PWD during registration, then add others from your dashboard at any time. Each PWD gets their own profile and NCPWD link.
Can two caregivers both be linked to the same PWD?
Yes. For example, both parents of a child with a disability can each have their own NCP-CDK account linked to the same child. One is marked the primary caregiver. If care arrangements change — through agreement or a court order — the primary can be transferred and the change is recorded.
Can foreign nationals join?
Yes. Caregivers and PWDs who are not Kenyan nationals are welcome. A passport or alien certificate is accepted in place of a national ID. The PWD's nationality is also captured on their profile.
How long does approval take?
Our back office reviews each application and checks your documents. We will contact you on the phone number you provide.
You do not have to do this alone
Join thousands of Kenyan parents and caregivers who stand together for their children. One registration fee, a small monthly ratiba, and a community behind you.
