Celebrate 25 years of Sibusiso – December festive month

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.
