About us
This is a charity organization that was formed in the year 1985 after the pains the two families had gone through the previous year due to their children suffering from leukaemia and the eventual deaths of their children. That served as the as a the main reason for the organization to be formed as it was realized that a lot of other families had also been going through similar experiences without better treatment and support services being provided for them.
It is regarded as the first charity organization that sought to provide help for each and every child who had any condition that was very fatal to their health.
The purpose of the Very Special Kids organization
The main purpose of the organization is to provide families with care and supportive services for the entire time that their kids will be receiving treatment to the time that they will recover or even to those times that they will pass away.
What the organization values

It is the vision of the organization to see to it that a world that ensures each and every family that has a child that is suffering from any fatal sickness is properly supported and provided with services that will enhance the recovery of those children.
Services rendered by the Very Special Kids organization
The organization provides a number of services to the families of those children who are identified as suffering from sicknesses that threatens their very lives and these services are given without charging the families anything. Some of these services are;
- The provision of support for families that are emotionally down and are in need of counselling
- Provision of support for families that have lost a child to the any of the life-threatening sicknesses
- The training of volunteers to offer various services to families that may need such services
