An inclusive future for persons with disabilities in Kireka

KPDDI is a grassroots organisation in Kireka, Uganda, working alongside persons with disabilities, vulnerable children and elderly people — with practical support, skills and community.

Who We Are

Rooted in Kireka, led by community

We believe persons with disabilities should be valued, supported and given real opportunities to learn, work and live with dignity.

KPDDI is a grassroots, community-based organisation in Kireka, Wakiso District. We work alongside persons with disabilities, vulnerable children, elderly people and their families — more than 400 people each year — with food, shelter, help with education, and skills that build income and independence.

KPDDI is registered in Uganda as a company limited by guarantee and as a community-based organisation with Kira Municipal Council.
