Support our work

Help every child and every mother matter

Your support helps us provide inclusive education, therapy, family support and advocacy for children with special needs and their mothers across Tanzania.

Why your support matters

When a child with special needs is empowered, the whole community grows stronger.

We are a non-profit organization. Support from individuals, businesses and partners helps us keep programmes running, reach more families and speak up for inclusion.

We are committed to being transparent, accountable, and doing what is right with every contribution we receive.
