PEFA Matumaini Rehabilitation Centre

Yesterday, as we celebrated Madaraka Day, the Program Officer had the chance to participate in advocacy activities on the importance of Early Identification and Intervention for children with disabilities(CYWDs) .

The session provided a valuable opportunity to engage with community members, raise awareness, and emphasize how early identification can transform lives by ensuring timely access to support, education, healthcare, and other essential services.

As we reflect on the significance of Madaraka Day, let us continue working together to create inclusive communities where every child is recognized, supported, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

Early identification today paves the way for a brighter and more inclusive tomorrow.

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" — and at Matumaini, we make sure our boys are _anything_ but dull.

Look at this: Monopoly money changing hands, strategy being debated, and every child fully engaged. This is more than a game.

"No play makes Jack a dull boy… and no child at Matumaini will ever be dull. Therapy works the body. Play works the mind, the heart, and the friendships. Today it’s Monopoly. Tomorrow, it’s confidence, math skills, patience, and pure joy."

"Recreational therapy is core to rehabilitation at Matumaini. Board games like Monopoly build cognitive function, numeracy, social negotiation, and fine motor skills. For children. this moment is powerful: they belong, they compete, they _lead_."

"At Matumaini, we prescribe play. Because healing the body without joy for the soul is only half the job."

It’s not just a child lying on pillows. It’s _positioning therapy_ doing its quiet work at Matumaini.

"At Matumaini, healing looks like this: colorful pillows, soft blankets, and skilled hands creating the perfect position for a child’s body to rest, grow, and recover. This is therapy. This is dignity. This is hope in action."

"Progress isn’t always steps and walking. Sometimes it’s peaceful rest in the right position. At Matumaini Rehab Centre, we use every pillow, every blanket, every moment to help a child’s body find comfort and strength."

"Psalm 139:14 — 'Fearfully and wonderfully made.' At Matumaini, we honor that truth with every therapy session. Even in stillness, God is working, muscles are learning, and hope is taking shape."

This is likely _postural management_ or _sensory therapy_ — using supports to prevent contractures, improve breathing, aid digestion, and give the nervous system a chance to calm. To an untrained eye it’s a nap. To a therapist and parent, it’s hard-won progress.
We want to thank our very able physiotherapist who makes it possible
