Funding sought for 4 th East African SLT conference

We need your help!

In order to make the 4th East African Speech and Language Therapy Conference accessible to as many relevant professionals as possible across the East African region, particularly the new SLT graduates of Makerere University and the current SLT students, we are now seeking funding to help keep personal attendance costs as low as possible.

If you know of any organisations who have corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes, or charitable donors,  in East Africa or overseas who might be interested helping fund this essential event, please blog below or contact us on speechtherapyuganda@yahoo.com.

Many thanks for your support
