We are excited to work with Tunaweza Children’s Centre to provide a masterplan and concept design for the Tunaweza Pathway site in Kitalya, Uganda. Tunaweza’s mission is to empower children with various disabilities through tailored curriculums of excellent therapy services and providing sufficient resources, information, training and support to the children, their families and communities. They currently rent 3 premises that include a house for the children, administration and accommodation for volunteers. They always dreamt of having a school attached to the children's center. The development of the Pathway will bring this dream to life as well as provide a home for the children’s center where they can further their mission with even greater impact.
