APT KENYA

Instead of waiting for expensive, hard-to-source pediatric wheelchairs, we can adapt what’s already available—quickly, affordably, and effectively.

It’s been a busy couple of weeks for the APT team!

15 standing frames, 8 chairs with floor wedges, and 8 therapy wedges made.
As soon as they are painted, they will be on their way to our partners at Dreamland Mission Hospital, Kimilili.

Thank you to everyone who makes this possible.

How our APT Kenya project is using locally available waste materials to change children's lives in Kenya.

Who thought cardboard could change lives?

Making boards - it's a process.

We’re excited to introduce the new design of our standing frame — now featuring a removable headrest!
A big thank you to Dafydd Cooper for his invaluable help in designing this. Having a removable headrest makes it much easier to assist children in and out of the standing frame. Plus, as a child develops stronger head control, the headrest can be easily removed to support their progress.

We’re proud to keep improving our designs to better support both children and caregivers.

Postural support chairs can make a life-changing difference for children with physical disabilities. These specially designed chairs help children maintain proper body alignment, providing the stability they need for daily activities such as learning, playing, and socialising.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

We are in desperate need of
- Old newspapers
- Brown paper / flour packets
- Salon cards

Any amount will be hugely appreciated, and every donation of these materials will help us make supportive equipment such as chairs and standing frames for children living with physical disabilities, giving comfort, independence, and dignity.

What may seem like waste can become life-changing equipment!

If you are in, or near, Njoro and have any paper or salon cards you'd like to donate, please get in touch 0714284388 or drop them at APT KENYA opposite Njoro Salvation Army Special School, KCB Road.

Standing frames empower children to experience the world differently — building confidence, supporting development, and opening up new opportunities for play, learning, and connection.

We know it’s been a bit quiet around here lately, but rest assured, we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes!
Our team has been busy preparing for an exciting expansion and training new APTers who are eager to join our mission. We can’t wait to make an even bigger impact in the lives of children who need postural support equipment this year and thanks to your ongoing support, we’re ready to reach more families than ever before!

It was a pleasure to host the 3rd annual APT Network last week when representatives from eight organisations came together to share their knowledge and skills on APT. The theme this year was Positioning and the Importance of APT in Positioning.
Thank you to Walkabout Foundation and L'Arche Kenya for organising and leading the sessions, and to all who came and made the event a success.
