The poster says:

Down’s or Down Syndrome is a learning disorder afflicting 1 in every 1 thousand children born globally including in Uganda, yet acceptance by society is relatively low since they are considered cursed.
Children with this disorder have intellectual disability and can repeat a class more than twice but this is not their only burden, most are susceptible to conditions such as heart disease, leukaemia, Alzheimer’s Disease, hearing defects and eye problems amongst others.
