Celebrate 25 years of Sibusiso – December festive month

This post is also available in: Dutch German Swahili

A celebration for Sibusiso is a celebration for the children of Sibusiso! 25 years ago, the Sibusiso Foundation was established in Arusha, Tanzania by Henk and Atty Hammer-Roos. Thousands of children with disabilities and their families have been helped since then. We are celebrating this anniversary, of course, with the children in Arusha.

That’s why we’re asking for a little extra for these children and their families for 25 days in December. We’re celebrating with hope, gratitude, and perspective! Contribute with a gift for one of the actions below!

Your contribution in this double festive month of December is warmly welcomed.

  • 25 walking frames for €275 = €11 per walking frame
  • 25 adapted toilet seats for €450 = €18 per toilet seat
  • 25 children’s chairs for €925 = €37 per children’s chair
  • 25 wheelchairs for €4,625 = €185 per wheelchair
  • 25 families receive therapy at home (outreach) for €4,857 = €195 per family home therapy
  • 25 weeks of therapy for 1 youngster in 6-month program €1,110

Will you help? Every contribution – large or small – brings us closer to our goal. Together we make a difference and give the children of Sibusiso an unforgettable anniversary celebration.

Donate now and celebrate the anniversary with us!

Investing in our organization

Sometimes it is necessary to evaluate our own organization as well. For instance, the organization of automation and IT requires attention. For this reason, Gabry Vlot visited Arusha to advise us in this area.

A mobile clinic truck for Sibusiso

Many children with disabilities do not receive the care they need because the center is too far away, there is no transport, or there are no funds. That is why Sibusiso visits villages with a mobile clinic. Join the fundraising campaign for a mobile clinic truck for Sibusiso. By doing so, you help set this essential care in motion!

Sharing knowledge about treatment methods

Rehabilitation physician in training, Elian König, spent two months working alongside the therapists in Arusha. She is researching how the quality of care at the center can be further improved.

In the center, carpenters and physiotherapists custom-make assistive devices such as wheelchairs and chairs, improving children’s therapy and mobility.
