WHO IS EKISA?
A movement of people who believe disability is not inability.
​
​
In Uganda, we are an amazing team of over 100 staff members who love, celebrate, and stand up for the children and families we serve.
​
We value:
-
Employing staff for the long-term so they can form loving and lasting relationships with the children and families we serve.
-
Employing staff who live with special needs or have children living with special needs.
-
Providing an environment and job that people love to come to.
​
“I love working at Ekisa because the environment is friendly, and I love being a part of a team where I can help children who desperately need it.” - Isaac
Around the world, we are a dedicated family of supporters and ambassadors who are rewriting the story of disability. We are artists, occupational therapists, students, moms and dads.
