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 disabilities or have children living with disabilities.

  • 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.
