| Beschreibung: | HCF exists to respond to the needs of the disabled who have been rejected by their families or are being mistreated, or are in need of any specialized attention. This covers all areas of life i.e. spirit, soul and body. Disability in Kenya is presented in many forms of special needs most of which start during the childhood stage; Physical disabilities e.g. visual and hearing impairment, multiple difficulties both Orthopaedic and Neurological, children with specific learning difficulties, emotional and behavioral problems etc. These become limitations in daily living especially when the environment is not friendly to these conditions. Many people living with these disabling conditions have suffered rejection and discrimination not necessarily from the impairment but from the outside response. Disabled children and their parents or guardians have been stigmatized by the community due to lack of clear information on disability. Disabled children experience multiple problems starting from malnutrition, lack of necessary equipments, inaccessible environments e.g. buildings without ramps for wheel chair users, rejection from people etc. H.C.F being a Christian ministry has committed itself to respond to this need using Godly responses as stated in the Bible. We believe that, love is not just “a good idea” but a “command” to be obeyed regardless of the circumstances surrounding any situation. HCF therefore exists to respond to the needs of the disabled who have been rejected by their families or are being mistreated, or are in need of any specialized attention. This covers all areas of life i.e. spirit, soul and body. Mrs. Elisabeth Resner (HCF director) got the burden for the needy many years ago but held back till 1997. Due to the size of the vision, she had to share it with others. Some one put it like this, “if you can fulfill your vision alone, then it must be very small.” It was not so with this vision thus many people had to be involved. |
