ABOUT US

BACKGROUND / ORIGIN of RDSAC

Rowan’s Down Syndrome Awareness Centre is an initiative that was started by Mildred Katusabe, a Munyoro from Hoima. In 2018, Mildred gave birth to Rowan, and found out that he had Down syndrome some weeks later. As Mildred and her husband, Christopher Cripps, encountered the challenges of learning about, and providing, the special care which was needed for Rowan (as well as traumatic open heart surgery in India), Mildred became inspired to share this more widely within her community.

Rowan’s Down Syndrome Awareness Center was Incorporated in 2019 (Registration Number: 80020002241956) and in 2020, Permitted to operate as an Organisation (Permit Number: FORP0004164NB) under the Non-Governmental Organisations Act.
