What happened in Komolion
On 6 December 2023, ASNEN and Acorn Special Tutorials- with support from Noogera Foundation and in collaboration with CURE International and NCPWD Baringo-held a disability assessment, NCPWD registration, and orthopedic medical camp at Komolion Primary School and Komolion Centre in Baringo County.
The initiative aimed to raise awareness, extend support, combat stigma, and improve pathways to inclusion for persons with disabilities in the community. Services included assessment, registration with the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), and orthopedic screening with referral pathways for corrective surgery where clinically indicated.
This case study presents aggregate, evidence-led outcomes. Individual medical details and identifying information about children are not published without documented safeguarding and consent review.
From the camp
Moments from the Komolion disability assessment, NCPWD registration, and orthopedic medical camp.
What we learned
Challenges, learning, and next steps from the camp - shared so others can build on the work.
Challenges
Communication gaps during community mobilization affected reach to some households. Coordinating multiple partners across registration, assessment, and surgical referral required careful sequencing on the day.
Learnings
Early engagement with local officials strengthens turnout and trust. Parent support networks and visible local representation help reduce stigma and sustain follow-up after camp activities.
Next steps
Continue advocacy in Baringo County, strengthen surgical-support partnerships with CURE International, establish parent support networks, and plan follow-up visits to track registration and referral outcomes.
