    Om programmet

    DESTINY FOUNDATION: Transforming the Lives of Children With Mental and Physical Disabilities 

    Founded in 2017 by a passionate special needs teacher with over 12 years of experience, this private NGO provides essential care for children born with mental and/or physical disabilities. In Tanzania, many children with disabilities are often denied the education, socialization, and support they need, and some never have the chance to interact with peers. Families sometimes feel shame or are unable to provide proper care.

    The foundation fills this gap by offering a safe, nurturing environment for about 20 resident children, whose parents cannot or do not wish to care for them. Additionally, their Outreach Program supports around 120 children in the community, ensuring that every child receives the care, attention, and love they deserve.

    Services provided include:

    • Physiotherapy

    • Speech therapy

    • Visual stimulation

    • Community awareness initiatives

    • Survival skills and life skills education

    Each child’s needs are unique, so care is personalized according to age and ability. Volunteers work alongside a dedicated team of therapists, social workers, and teachers, ensuring proper guidance, support, and adherence to best practices.
