Anniversary Celebration for Sibusiso

This post is also available in:

On Thursday, September 25, Sibusiso celebrated its 25th anniversary together with friends, guests, and donors. During a festive gathering at Rijk Zwaan in De Lier, we reflected on our past but, above all, looked ahead. Chair Anton van Doornmalen opened the afternoon with the words: “Only together can we make a difference.” A message that underscores how Sibusiso has grown over 25 years into the thriving center it is today.
With vision and dedication, Atty and Henk Hammer-Roos have built a unique center where thousands of children and their families have found help and hope. A milestone to be proud of.

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.
