In Ghana, disabled children are often neglected and generally get little or no opportunities.
The centre in Offinso has identified most of these children in the area.
In line with GSPD's mission, the centre tries to offer support to improve their living conditions.
Twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a group of 10 disabled children are picked up from
their homes. They can play, get washed and fed and when necessary they receive
medical care and physiotherapy.
The GSPD is considering investment in facilities to be able to host a selected group of children fulltime.
This need is eminent with a number of children who are severely neglected by their families.
Until that time, the centre is doing the best it can with the existing infrastructure. Below are
some snapshots of some of the children that receive daycare at the centre twice a week.
  Abigail is 8 years old and was born with Hydrocephales. She lives with her family in Offinso. Benefits of a potential operation are being assessed. In the mean time, she receives active support in development of strength & stability so she can function as normally as possible. |

 Mabel was also born with Hydrocephales. Because of the size and weight of her head she cannot sit properly. Her physiotherapy is focused on gaining strength, core stability, core balance and self-confidence. With sufficient training she should be able to sit and walk like Abigail. |

  Papa Yaw's capacity is severely limited by brain damage at birth. He is not taken care properly at home. He is neglected and kept in a goat shed most of the time. He is severely ill. With good nutrition, medication, bathing and activation we try to strengthen him. |
|
  Maa Akua has limited capacity due to brain damage. She enjoys her time at the centre due to the interaction with the other children. Her therapy focuses on development of movement flexibility and strength.

  Infected with Polio, Kofi's legs are too weak for him to walk. Kofi suffers severe contractions in most of his joints. The main therapy goal is to strengthen his arms and back so that he might be able to walk with crutches. Kofi is cheerful and very bright, loves to exercise and enjoys his time at the centre. |

  Alhaji is 7 years old and was born with Down's Syndrome. He is in good health but gets little attention and exercise at home. At the centre he gets the chance to play and interact and develop basic skills. |
