Happy New Year from everyone at The Potter's House CBO.

Having a APT chair means a child can be fed in an upright position making it easier for parents and more importantly, a safer and a more enjoyable experience for children.

There is a huge lack of supportive equipment to help children with physical disabilities sit up or stand, in Kenya. Children spend their days and nights lay down not able to participate in activities. Our answer to this need? Cardboard!

With the wheelchair insert mum can now push her child around. It's so much easier for her than carrying him on her back and he can now engage with the community and see what is going on.

When a child is in a good, upright position it makes playing possible, and playing = learning.

APT KENYA is providing equipment that's getting children off the floor and into functional positions so they can communicate, play and learn with others.

It's a privilege to see the joy on the faces of parents and children when the child tries the chair or standing frame for the first time. We know it is going to make a huge difference physically and socially to the children.

The benefits of a standing frame can include improved posture, digestion, hip stability, cardio fitness and prevent contractures.
A standing frame can even improve a child's social well-being, giving them opportunities to engage with friends and family at eye level.

Having a chair is not just about comfort and posture. For this young girl having a chair that supports her when sitting means she is able to use her hands and feed herself. It also means she is able to play with siblings and be more included in family activities.

APT chairs and standing frames help prevent contractures and spinal deformities.
Each child is measured and assessed so their individual needs are met and the equipment fits perfectly.

Chairs and standing frames ready for children.

Equipment is made to suit each child's individual needs.

Welcome to our new Twitter page for APT Kenya.
This is a new project for The Potter's House CBO that will provide many disabled children with the postural supportive equipment they need.
Alongside the disability equipment, household items will be made and sold to the public.
