Celebration for Sibusiso

This post is also available in:

Last Thursday, we celebrated the 25th anniversary, reflecting on the starting point of therapy for children with disabilities in Tanzania by Atty and Henk Hammer-Roos. With their dedication and vision, a unique center in Arusha has been established that has helped thousands of children and their families towards self-reliance and acceptance. During the anniversary gathering at Rijk Zwaan in De Lier, there was much inspiration for the future from speakers such as Martha Lukasi, director of Sibusiso, Sara Kinsbergen from Nijmegen University, Atty Hammer-Roos and Anton van Doornmalen on behalf of the board, and Caroline Kitana Chipeta, ambassador of Tanzania. There was a festive conclusion with Sibusiso Songs by Anton van Doornmalen and band and a convivial gathering. We will soon inform you about the lectures.

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.
