Our Work
Eta operates within Uganda, offering services to all children who are differently abled with limitations in performance and functionality, for ages 2 to 21 years.
Every small act of kindness creates a ripple of positive change.
Enduring Trust Africa (ETA) Centre was operating as a home-based program until February 2023 when it opened its doors to the public with a boarding home program. We started with 3 beneficiaries and the numbers have been steadily increasing by word of mouth to 22 children, which shows us the need for these services in our community. Those enrolled have exhibited steady improvement due to the consistent interventions of the programs run at the Centre which include therapy (speech and language, occupational, physiotherapy, psychotherapy), special education, music, arts and crafts, pre-vocational and vocational skilling.
Christian Tendo, an 8-year-old child with autism who had anxiety could not move out of the house for four years, was not feeding and was therefore malnourished, had challenges with speech and language, obsessive behaviors of things of his interest as well as aggressive tendencies. He could pinch, bite, and beat, he had sensory issues and was dependent on most Activities of Daily Living (ADL). After joining the program, he has responded appropriately to sensory stimuli, is composed and independent in most ADL activities. He can respond to instructions, write, read, and eat, he is not aggressive and his tantrums are minimal. He is now learning self-care, to shower himself. We envision him beginning in a mainstream school, and the more we give him therapy, vocational skills, music, singing and eventually if introduced to cookery and bakery, he can thrive in society.Arthur Shaka a 9-year-old boy with autism who was restless, had temper outbursts, broke things, beat people around him, was aggressive, had challenges with writing, and reading, was irritable, had speech impairment, is now responsive to instruction, loving and has improved relatively well on communication.
