Therapy and Food for Children with Autism in Kenya

Hello Friend,

Since our last update, we’ve continued to provide consistent occupational and speech therapy to children with autism in Mathare, alongside monthly distribution of nutritious dried food parcels to their families. These services are critical lifelines for children in informal settlements who would otherwise lack access to specialized care.

In this period, over 60 children received therapy services, and 50 families benefited from our nutrition support program. We've also conducted two caregiver training sessions to help parents apply simple therapy techniques at home—strengthening the link between clinic and community care.

The impact is visible: caregivers report improved speech, behavior, and engagement among children. With continued support, we aim to reach more families and strengthen our food basket offering to better match nutritional needs.

Thank you for helping us make inclusion real, one child at a time.Donate

Kind Regards,

Ruth Tenai,

CEO-Step Up 4 Autism.
