The Kula Foundation promotes the normal development of children in the age group of 0 to 6 years who have been orphaned, neglected or growing up in diverse conditions. This is done through occupational therapy and early intervention (stimulation and therapy), preventing future disability as well as optimizing their chances for adoption. Children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS and living under adverse conditions have more specific needs.
The Foundation aims to empower associations, like children’s homes, with the necessary resources and support to ensure that the children and families they serve receive the required early childhood intervention. By preparing children early in life, empowering their parents/caregivers with adapting parenting techniques and supplying them with the support and resources to become a nuclear family we hope to prepare our children for the future. |
