Welcome to Noah's Ark Village
NAVL is a Community Based Organization (CBO) registered in Uganda whose mandate is to advocate for children with disabilities. It was founded by Nakato Angella in 2014, driven by a passion to restore dignity to children with special needs and provide a safe space where they can live their life to the fullest and achieve their God-given potential. Children with disabilities are one of the most marginalized groups worldwide. In Uganda, 13 per cent of all children – more than 2.5 million – are living with a disability. However the widespread local belief that disabilities are an ‘untreatable curse’ mean that these children and their families are frequently ostracized from their communities, educational and healthcare institutions, as well as from social and leisure activities.01:1
