Special Needs Centres – PASNEC

Welcome to the Pearls of Africa Special Needs Centres website

We aim to give quality of life, love and acceptance to people with special needs in a holistic way. We do this by providing high quality, sustainable health, educational and vocational services that show the love of God through Jesus Christ. We are Uganda registered NGO number 9036

It was Sir Winston Churchill who said that “Uganda is the Pearl of Africa” as it is a very beautiful & fertile country with very hospitable & friendly people.

It was King David in Psalm 139 who said that “we are fearfully & wonderfully made ” In the Message version of the Bible it says -” I thank you, High God – You’re breath taking! Body & soul, I am marvellously made!….. You know me inside & out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculptured from nothing into something.”

At PASNEC we have a passion that our special needs children are NOT “nothings” as many people see them like that. They are fearfully & wonderfully made by God, like the rest of us. They are SPECIAL and are like PEARLS and deserve to be treated with love, respect and dignity.

Objective

To promote the holistic development, inclusion, and self-reliance of children and adults with special needs by providing assessment, education, guidance, vocational training, and sustainable support services.

History

Services we provide

We are a unique centre with children progressing from the Early Years unit to the Day Centre in Kanyanya and finally to the Seguku boarding section if their parents wish them to. We have combined both the educational and medical aspects as well as having a holistic approach to help the children develop.
