Identity & registration
Who we are
Ubinadam is a Swahili word meaning humanity. We are registered with the Kenyan NGO Coordination Board (September 2021) and mandated to operate in five counties—Migori, Homabay, Kisumu, Nairobi, and Machakos—with our main programme hub in Migori County. We work with young people with disabilities, families, and five local primary schools. Our flagship SUNCEP programme—developed with ADRA Hungary, ELTE’s Bárczi Faculty of Special Needs Education, Rongo University, and support from Hungary Helps—strengthens inclusive and special-needs education so more learners stay and thrive in school.

Quick statistics
Muhuru Bay is one of Kenya’s 1,450 administrative wards. Although the area is rich in natural resources, families still live with hunger, limited access to education, unemployment, and high disease burdens. Young people and adults with disabilities are often the most excluded.
- Support needs for learners are often recognised late, with few teachers trained in inclusive and special-needs practice
- Distance, inaccessible classrooms, and weak links between health care and school
- Stigma, bullying, and family hardship that push learners out before they finish primary school

Current intervention
What is happening now
Under SUNCEP, with ADRA Hungary, ELTE Bárczi, Rongo University, and Hungary Helps, we strengthen inclusive education in five Migori primary schools. Partner reporting describes the programme reaching more than 2,000 learners in those school communities. We also provide direct support—fees, supplies, transport, and frequent school visits—for learners from the poorest families so they can stay in class.

Building the school the community needs

Deepen inclusive schools today
Grow SUNCEP so partner schools can welcome more learners with disabilities—with training, tools, and follow-up that lasts.
Land and a dedicated school

Life skills & STEM
Our long-term school will teach first aid, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and technology.
Therapeutic support
The campus will support emotional, speech, behavioural, and physical therapy needs.
