Eligible children who have been informed of their inclusion in the programme will receive the funds every two months via Wave Money. Each family can receive support for up to three children.
The programme aims to assist families in caring for children with disabilities by helping cover expenses for food, medical treatment, personal hygiene, assistive technology, rehabilitation, and education. It also seeks to supplement family income and encourage greater social participation.
