Field verification is underway in Rombo District for 40 children with disabilities who have been identified to receive customized wheelchairs in the coming quarters.

Each home visit helps assess every child’s mobility needs, take accurate measurements, and ensure that the right wheelchair is provided to improve independence, access to education, and overall quality of life. Thank you to everyone who continues to support this mission. Together, we are transforming lives one wheelchair at a time.

As we enter the second half of the year, TAMBUA UTU FOUNDATION is launching a 15 days mid-year campaign to provide 40 wheelchairs for children with disabilities who are currently unable to access school and community life due to lack of mobility support. For these children, a wheelchair is not a convenience, it is the gateway to education, dignity, and participation.

How to contribute
Donations are being made through the Myriad USA Friend Fund page, a structured giving platform and non-taxable charitable contributions for supporters. (Link below)

We are inviting partners, foundations, and friends of inclusion to join us in closing this urgent gap. Your support does not only provide a wheelchair, it unlocks access to education, healthcare, and full participation in society.

Together, we can ensure that children with disabilities are not left waiting for the mobility they urgently need.

We were honored to receive visitors from Humanitarian and She dare to wonder at Tambua Utu Foundation

They took time to learn about our work, spend meaningful moments with our children, and observe how we provide therapy services for children with Cerebral Palsy. They also witnessed assessment and wheelchair fitting process for children with disabilities.

During their visit, they generously brought sensory toys for children with autism, 17 white canes for children with visual impairment, blankets, 5 walkers, and 16 wheelchairs that were fitted to children the same day.

It was such a wonderful experience sharing our mission, challenges, and impact together. We are grateful for their visit, generosity, and compassion toward the children and families we serve.

Today marked a key milestone in Siha District as our group officially received beehives to advance our community beekeeping project from Ngarony to Karansi.

What makes this moment significant is not just the handover, but the readiness behind it. The beehives already host active, well-managed bee colonies, carefully nurtured under the supervision of Mwalimu Barakaeli. This allows us to move directly into the implementation phase with strong technical footing.

The response from parents and caregivers of students at Tumaini Centre was highly encouraging. Their engagement reflects a growing sense of ownership and commitment to ensuring the project’s success not only as an income generating activity, but also as a practical learning opportunity for families. The project will be managed at Tumaini Centre to ensure close monitoring, structured management, and long term sustainability. Community Bridges Foundation

Today we delivered school supplies to our beneficiaries at St. Fransis Primary School in Hai District.

A particularly meaningful moment was supporting 25 students with disabilities (12 with albinism, 4 with physical disabilities, 6 who are blind, and 3 who are deaf). Watching them receive their uniforms and immediately put them on was a powerful reminder of how this support can create a strong sense of belonging.

Many students at St. Fransis live in the school’s boarding facility because they have nowhere else to go. The school also serves as a safe space for students with albinism due to the history of killings targeting people with albinism in the country, as well as for children who have been abandoned or rescued!. Since 2021, our support has focused on essential needs such as food, stationery, and clothing to help ensure these students can continue their education with dignity.

Access to basic school necessities remains a challenge for many children with disabilities, and moments like this reinforce the importance of continued community support. Community Bridges Foundation

The handover was warmly received by Principal Mr. Mollel, Evangelist Madam Sara, teachers, and parent representatives. Families expressed heartfelt gratitude for this vital support.
