About the program
The Children Therapy & Care Program is a community-based initiative that supports children with special needs and developmental challenges in Arusha, Tanzania. The program works with children aged 0–12 years from different social and economic backgrounds, providing them with essential care, learning support, and developmental assistance.

Many of the children we support experience delays or disabilities caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, ADHD, spina bifida, hydrocephalus, muscular disorders, and speech or developmental delays. Our approach focuses on improving their independence, communication, mobility, and overall quality of life through structured therapy support and daily care activities.

The program offers a combination of physiotherapy support, occupational therapy activities, speech and communication exercises, and play-based learning designed to stimulate development in a safe and friendly environment. We also aim to expand our services in the future to include additional rehabilitation approaches such as hydrotherapy when resources allow.
