Description
The special needs project in Tanzania is a great way for compassionate and caring individuals to support disabled children across the country. In this project, the volunteers are expected to assist professionals in the centers or work first handily with the children who have learning
disabilities. These disabilities can include being deaf or mute, physical disabilities, down syndrome, autism, and cerebral palsy. The activities include socializing, physiotherapy, speech therapy, teaching basic education, cleaning, and facility maintenance.
This program welcomes everyone to volunteer, especially those with medical experience or a professional background in special needs care. It is a very crucial project as there is an inadequacy of facilities and materials necessary for appropriate service provision in education, treatment and care. There are other challenges such as a lack of trained staff, a negative cultural perception toward disabilities, and a lack of relevant information and training for various special needs cases.
