SOPHGENYI FEEBLE CARE INITIATIVIE (FEEBLE CARE) was founded way back in 2015, we are a registered, non-profit humanity based organization with a VISION to provide a platform to transform lives of the feeble and physically challenged persons in Uganda.

Initially it started as a simple act of kindness that i extended to a 10-year-old boy who fell off a jackfruit tree sustaining serious spinal injury and head trauma. The injured child remained in a vegetative state until he sadly passed on after three painful years. Sadly, i did not get a chance to visit him during his illness as I, too, cannot move without physical support. See my story/life experience.

While I cared for the deceased boy (RIP), I noticed that there are many more people living with various physical challenges. I also noticed that many of the PWDs are ostracized from polite society, and mostly live in remote villages, unidentified, and in dire need of help.

Globally, there are an estimated 1.5 billion (15%) people living with some form of disability. In Uganda alone, out of the 45.74 million Uganda population (2020), UBOS (Uganda Bureau of Statistics) study on disability prevalence found that 6.5 million (12.5%) of these are living with either severe or mild forms of disability.
