TOMORROW VIJANA

Empowering Families, Building Futures Tomorrow Vijana is thrilled to successful completion of a comprehensive economic empowerment refresher session for parents and caregivers of children with disabilities. This initiative builds on the transformative work started two years ago, when Tomorrow Vijana, in partnership with COHERE, launched an inclusive education program aimed at supporting children with disabilities by providing learning materials and assistive devices. With Comic Relief top up funding from COHERE under the Bright Future Consortium, Tomorrow Vijana is now expanding its efforts to foster long-term sustainability by empowering parents and caregivers through economic support. The goal is to equip these families with the skills and resources needed to improve their livelihoods, enabling them to continue providing for their children even after the direct intervention from Tomorrow Vijana ends. The economic refresher session included training on financial literacy, small business management, and income-generating activities tailored to the needs and circumstances of families raising children with disabilities. By enhancing the economic resilience of these families, the initiative aims to ensure that parents can meet the ongoing needs of their children, including education, healthcare, and specialized support. This approach not only addresses the immediate needs of children with disabilities but also contributes to a sustainable, community-driven response that empowers families to break the cycle of poverty and dependency, laying the foundation for a brighter future.
