A mobile clinic truck for Sibusiso

This post is also available in: Dutch German Swahili

In Tanzania, many children with disabilities are in urgent need of therapy, assistive devices, and medical guidance. For many families, the journey to the Sibusiso center in Arusha is too long, too difficult, and too expensive. As a result, many children do not receive the care they deserve. That is why we are launching the ‘Winnie’s truck’ campaign, a fundraiser for a mobile truck initiated by Winnie from the ‘Help to Help’ organization. With a mobile clinic truck, therapists and healthcare providers can travel to the villages. This allows them to bring care, therapy, guidance, and hope directly to the children and their families. In this way, we can reach many more children than is currently possible, and parents will no longer have to travel for hours to get help.

To make this dream a reality, we aim to raise €25,000 over the coming months for the purchase and outfitting of a mobile clinic truck. And there is fantastic news! Thanks to a special partnership with Help to Help from Alkmaar, every euro donated will be doubled by Help to Help. This means we can make a total of €50,000 available for the truck and the equipment. Please help us bring care to the children!

Together, we can ensure that more children have the opportunity to develop, participate, and build a better future! With your help, we can set this essential care in motion! Make your donation here!
