This article from the Guardian shines a light on the poor conditions found in many children's home for children with disabilities in Kenya. Staff members at one such home, Compassionate Hands, say "four children sleep to a bed in overcrowded dorm rooms where they are locked in for 13 hours a day – conditions that are life-threatening, according to Disability Rights International (DRI), an organisation campaigning for children with disabilities."
"Across Kenya, there is a culture of neglect in institutions for children with disabilities," says a report from DRI which revealed the "dangerous" conditions faced by many children with disabilities in institutions. The article outlines some of the findings of the study and underscores the decades of research indicating that institutions "cause psychological damage" to children.
