CoRSU Hospital Launches Third Annual Disability Walk to Raise UGX 400 Million for 100 Children

CoRSU Hospital has launched the third edition of its annual Disability Walk, aiming to raise UGX 400 million to provide life-changing surgical and rehabilitation care for 100 children living with disabilities.

The walk is scheduled for Sunday, 4th October 2026 at MUBS Sports Ground in Kisubi. The campaign brings together thousands of Ugandans, government leaders, corporate organisations, and disability advocates.

Uganda faces a critical shortage of funding for paediatric orthopaedic services, with close to 300 children on waiting lists each year. The funds raised will support surgery, therapy, assistive devices, and follow-up rehabilitation for each child at an average cost of UGX 4 million.

Patrick Menya, Social Gerontologist from the Minister of Gender, Labour and Social Development, attended as Guest of Honour and called on Ugandans to support the cause. ‘The strength of a nation is reflected in how it cares for its most vulnerable citizens,’ he said.

CoRSU CEO Robert Ochai emphasised the campaign’s impact: ‘Behind every child waiting for surgery is a family waiting for hope. Every contribution translates into a child walking again.’

Supporters can donate via MTN Mobile Money (Paybill Code: 599 393) or Airtel Money (Paybill: 4369 188). Enquiries can be directed to 0761-002111 or 0761-002157.
