HOPE & WONDER

Hope&Wonder is a registered association in Tanzania (NGO 0009892) with the aim to be there for disabled children and to give them a happy future.

On the outskirts of Dar es Salaam we built a children’s home for up to 12 children with disabilities, in which they will be supported in the best possible way and, above all, loved.

To support the project, the association «HOPE & WONDER Schweiz» was founded in Switzerland and since beginning of 2020 we have als a charity in Germany «HOPE&WONDER Deutschland e.V.. The small organisations are intended to help make the dreams and visions of HOPE & WONDER in Tanzania come true. Anyone can become part of this project by becoming a member of our associations.

 

ABOUT US

My name is Angela and I am the founder of the project. I have already lived in Tanzania for one year from 2015 to 2016, where I saw the great need for facilities for disabled children and decided to found a home where the individual promotion of development and love are at the centre stage.
In Tanzania we founded an NGO with 5 locals and in Switzerland a small association which helps to realize our visions. More information about us you can find here

 

ISSUE DISABILITY IN TANZANIA

The issue of disability is still a big taboo topic in Tanzania. Much is connected with their traditional faith, which sees disability as a curse. Entire families are considered cursed and are expelled because of a disabled child.

But even without this superstition, living with a disabled child in the poor living conditions in Tanzania is not easy. Usually all family members (especially both parents, if both are still present) have to contribute to the family’s livelihood and survival. If a family has a disabled child who needs to be cared for around the clock, one source of income is lost and the family gets into big trouble.

These are two of many reasons why handicapped children are often abandoned or, unfortunately, often killed.

If a handicapped child comes to a children’s home, there is usually no developmentally appropriate care and special support. In many children’s homes there are 20-30 children for one caregiver and those who cannot provide for themselves quickly perish.

Another problem is the lack of information. Many families do not even know what their child has and how they should deal with the child and support it. There is no counselling / support for these families.
