Guidelines on Self-Help Groups

Try out our guidelines on setting up and supporting self-help groups for caregivers of children with disabilities.

These guidelines have been developed for use by any group of people who want to set up a self-help group for caregivers with disabled family members. Disabled family members can be children, or children who have grown up into adults but still remain cared for by the family or adults who have acquired a disability later in life and are now cared for in their family setting. The guidelines are based on our experiences of running self-help groups in Kilifi, Kenya since 2015.

The guidelines are provided in three languages:

• English
• Swahili
• French.
