United Women for Special Children

Photos from our Annual Dinner and Dance held on May 18th, 2024

Relive the magic of The Roaring 20's event, held on May 18th, where the community came together in dazzling fashion to support children with disabilities in Guyana.

This unforgettable evening was filled with joy, generosity, and the spirit of giving, all aimed at making a meaningful impact in the lives of these incredible children. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to this noble cause.

Together, we are creating brighter futures and making a difference, one step at a time.

Handover of Essential appliances to Ptolemy Reid Rehabilitation Centre.

This donation is an ongoing effort to support and empower our community.

We believe that these items will not only improve the day-to-day functions of the facilities but to also bring a bit more comfort to all.

So happy you all enjoyed the circus.

Wishing all our children with disabilities good luck and God's guidance as you write your NGSA exams today and tomorrow. So proud of you.

Disabled Person or Person with a Disability? - Promoting Rights Based Language - Guyana Council of Organisations for Persons with Disabilities Has anyone ever called you a word that made you feel inadequate or made you feel as though something was wrong with you?

Hey, Facebook friends; we want to update you on what UWSC has been up to. As you know, the Suarez Brothers Circus is in Georgetown, and we were blessed to have Ambassador Mauricio Vizcaino - of the Embassy of Mexico - extended an invitation to UWSC, which allowed over 100 students with disabilities to attend, accompanied by their teachers, and parents from Linden, New Amsterdam, Diamond, Beterverwagting and Schoonard Special Needs schools.

Heartfelt thank you to Ambassador Vizcaino; his thoughtful act gave the kids an unforgettable, fun experience.

We are very grateful to Cyril’s Transportation Services for their preferred bus rate. UWSC funded for the children's return trip, along with meals for them to enjoy en route.
