Sense International Uganda was on 94.6 Eye FM for an important discussion with key stakeholders on accessing health, rehabilitation, education, and referral services for children with complex disabilities in Iganga District.
We also highlighted Insight, our digital platform connecting people with deafblindness, their families, caregivers, and professionals to useful information, resources, and practical guidance.
Together, we can bridge information gaps, strengthen support systems, and build a more inclusive community where every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Sense International Uganda recently welcomed Isabelle , Programmes Manager – East Africa at @SenseInternatl , and Suzi, Board Trustee at Sense International, for a field visit focused on strengthening partnerships, learning from our work and seeing its impact firsthand.
This visit brought together people, systems & lived experiences, from national leadership & district health teams to therapists, families and children.
Together, we continue working towards a Uganda where children with deafblindness & other disabilities are identified early,
supported appropriately & given every opportunity to learn, participate and thrive.
Partnerships strengthen systems. Systems create opportunities. And opportunities change lives.

From dialogue to action.
Sense International Uganda kicked off Phase III of the Early Intervention Project across six districts: Kalaki, Serere, Kalungu, Bukomansimbi, Lwengo and Masaka.
The meetings also provided an opportunity to introduce Insight, our newly renamed digital resource platform providing information and resources on deafblindness and multiple sensory impairment.
Together, we are strengthening systems, supporting families and creating pathways for every child to reach their potential.

A New Chapter Begins: Welcome to Insight!
This is more than a change of name. It marks the next chapter in our journey to make information, resources and connections more accessible to people with deafblindness and everyone who supports them.
The name may be changing, but our mission & commitment remain the same. We are building on the foundation created through the Global Deafblindness Resource Hub and moving forward with a stronger focus on user needs, accessible and localised content, participation and learning.
To all our users, people with deafblindness, families, caregivers, educators, practitioners, policymakers, partners, funders and supporters, thank you for being part of this journey so far and for your continued support in making Insight a success.
