Equitable Health Organization

Welcome to Equitable Health Organization

Equitable Health Organization (EHO) is a non-government organization based in Rwanda, founded in May 2023 by students and their former teacher, united by a shared scholarship experience. They encounter marginalized children with disabilities fueled by a passion for fighting against discrimination prevalent in both the community and traditional culture.

EHO stands as their collective endeavour to support and advocate for the health, education, and social welfare of children with disabilities under 18 years old. According to the 2012 (RPHC) Fourth Rwanda Population and Housing Census, the report revealed that 20% (87,900) of the population of persons with disabilities are children between the ages of five and eighteen. However, the proportion of children under five is not accounted for which leads to the lost opportunity to address disability at the early stage of life. The organization is dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of these vulnerable children. Through its initiatives, it aims to contribute to breaking down barriers and fostering inclusivity in Rwandan society. The organization operates under the authorization of the Rwanda Governance Board, with operational certificate number: No 1215/RGB/NGO/OC/05/2023.

Education

Our organization is committed to promoting educational equality for students with disabilities. We provide tailored support, including school supplies and fees, to ensure these students can pursue their education free from stigma. Through strategic partnerships, we seek to amplify our impact and advocate for policy changes that foster inclusivity in the educational system. We conduct awareness campaigns to educate communities about the importance of inclusive education and continuously refine our programs to address evolving needs. Our goal is to empower children with disabilities, break down barriers, and create a future where educational opportunities are accessible to all.

Health

In our dedication to improving the health of children with disabilities, we provide essential hygiene materials, address stunting and malnutrition, and facilitate comprehensive medical insurance coverage. Through proactive early detection initiatives, we aim to identify and address potential medical challenges preemptively, thereby minimizing long-term repercussions. Our commitment extends to ensuring equitable access to healthcare services, fostering an environment where healthcare is both readily available and accessible on an equal basis. By integrating these efforts, we aspire to optimize the overall health and well-being of children with disabilities, contributing to a more inclusive and healthier future.

Social welfare

In our efforts to enhance the social well-being of children with disabilities, we advocate for their rights with focus and determination. We prioritize not only equitable treatment but also organize purposeful activities such as play games and social events, strategically crafted to seamlessly integrate these children into wider society. Aligned with our dedication, we conduct impactful campaigns that go beyond mere words, actively promoting the fundamental rights of all children and emphasizing a broader commitment to human rights. This approach reflects a professional and empathetic stance, underscoring the importance of fostering a society that embraces inclusivity, ensuring that every child, regardless of ability, enjoys a supportive and enriching environment.
