Welcome!
Ours is a story of Hope ...

A school that takes the sting out of what society calls Disabled.

Kampala School for Physically Handicapped started in 1969, as a project by the Uganda Spastics Society (an indigenous non-profit making organization). The founder members of the Society had children with Cerebral Palsy, and thus aimed at improving the quality of life and rehabilitation of children with the affliction.

Sitting on about 5.5 aches, Kampala School for the Physically Handicapped is the only one of its kind in Uganda, combining Education, Rehabilitation and Vocational skill training to children with various disabilities aging from 6 – 21 years. With a population of 186 pupils and 42 teaching staff it is supported by a wide range of volunteers.

Endowed with a gleeful atmosphere, these amazing children tell the story.

a word from the alumni
It’s very important to give equal opportunities to persons with disabilities; they are of an excessive value to this country and the world at large. Once the right skills and opportunities are offered, and the adaptations put in place, transformation is inevitable.

50 years of celebration is such a great achievement for KSPH, I would thank the founders for such an initiative. As a person who serves people with disability, experience has taught me that these Differently Abled children need a lot of love and support from the public. KSPH is a school that has stood the test of time.

As we celebrate the 50 years of KSPH, we need to understand the mission of our beloved people, whose efforts have developed, educated and modelled strong persons in the society of Uganda. It is our obligation to advance this mission to have more and more children with disabilities educated for a better future.

KSPH is the school that started my life. I was brought to this school without hope of being someone productive and my parents did not have hope in me to study. Admission at KSPH sparked life in me. I am very proud to be part of the successful KSPH Old Boys, now working with UNDP.

As we celebrate the 50 years I want to encourage people with disability that disability is not the end of the life; there is a lot that one can do. They are all differently abled people and have a lot of potential to live a normal life.
Get up and invest in yourself.

Message from our director

The School that takes the “Sting out of Disability”. We believe that every human being has limitations (challenges, weakness, handicaps, name it) and we all have strengths / abilities. KSPH, believes in the “Abilities”. We are just “Differently Abled.” Many years ago, at his graduation ceremony, Fred Semakula, an all round, successful officer working with Motivation Freedom Through Mobility, said “KSPH gave me a chance to live”. Honorable Buwendo Murshid, testifying at the recent UN day celebration, held at the School, said, “KSPH made me what I am today”. Such and many other success stories are the reason I am grateful to God for the opportunity to be part of the life changing process of these very special, lovely children. Even when someone was about to give up, such comments and stories are a motivation to carry on, and give it your best. We will always treasure the founder members, for a vision well set. The many individuals and organizations that have contributed, in the last 48years to the different areas and programs of the School. My predecessors, on whose foundation we have continued to build. The amazing Governance, staff and volunteer teams, serving with us. Best of all, to our dear pupils and old students, who have made our working life, a memorable experience. On behalf of the Management Board and parents, please accept our gratitude and appreciation. We look to the years ahead with open minds and hearts, on how best we can serve these children; KSPH desires to be a model to others, who want to develop such services country wide, so that Children with Disabilities all over Uganda get easier access to functional, quality Education. We need to remember that Identifying disability is not for labeling, but for curving out, and directing on the best way for the abilities within to excel. Together, let’s make the world a better place for all the stay.
God bless you.
