Group Meetings
Peer to Peer Education involves sharing skills and knowledge from experienced individuals to empower people with disabilities in their communities. We engage directly with community members, particularly those with disabilities, sharing life experiences to promote health, mobility, and independence. This initiative aims to enhance their skills, enabling them to lead more effective and independent lives.
Individual Counselling
"We invite individuals to share their life experiences with us to understand their unique challenges. In one-on-one sessions, especially with women and girls with disabilities, we encourage questions that might be uncomfortable to ask in groups, focusing on reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. These discussions help us identify others in their communities, expanding our reach and impact.
Women with disabilities often lack access to sexual and reproductive health information and services, including family planning. If they become pregnant, they may face barriers to prenatal, delivery, and post-natal care compared to non-disabled peers. We believe it's their right to access safe and effective fertility regulation methods and appropriate healthcare, ensuring safe pregnancies and healthy infants.
Our commitment extends to providing compassionate support and care to women and children with disabilities affected by HIV/AIDS."
Seminars & Workshops
People with disabilities often face barriers to participating in community activities due to inadequate infrastructure. We advocate for the creation of supportive environments in places like schools, hospitals, shops, banks, and government buildings. Our efforts include providing training and practical advice on making facilities accessible for disabled individuals. Additionally, we conduct seminars to raise awareness about the importance of inclusion. These initiatives aim to ensure that all members of society can actively engage and benefit from community life.
Assistive Devices
We advocate for quality assistive devices that are tailored and properly fitted to improve mobility, and also to expand opportunities in education, employment, and social engagement for individuals requiring such assistance. Songambele is committed to ensuring that women, girls, and children with disabilities receive the necessary assistive devices they require.
This is done through collaboration with other partners who provide customized wheelchairs.
Community Actions
Many in our community lack awareness about disability issues, leading to discrimination and isolation experienced by people with disabilities. Prejudice towards disabled individuals is common due to this lack of understanding. Recognizing these challenges, Songambele has committed to raising awareness within the community. By fostering understanding, acceptance, and inclusion of people with disabilities in community activities, we aim to highlight their valuable contributions. Given the opportunity, individuals with disabilities can significantly enrich our communities.
Sport and Other Activities
Through various sports activities, Songambele brings together individuals with disabilities who may not have previously connected. Participants engage in games of their choosing, fostering opportunities to rejuvenate their spirits while building confidence and self-esteem. Our sports events are held monthly, with basketball taking place on the last Friday of each month, followed by an open meeting on Saturday.
