Situation
Disabled and orphaned children in Tanzania are some of the most vulnerable in the world. 98% of disabled children do not go to school and a recent BBC documentary, 'Forced to Beg - Tanzania's trafficked kids', showed disabled children, as young as three, trafficked alone to Kenya, and forced to beg. 8% of children in Tanzania are orphans and face life on the streets. Without adequate housing, schools and the love and care every child deserves, they face exploitation, violence, hunger and abuse.
Solution
Article 25 are designing and delivering a beautiful, purpose built, children's village in Boma, Tanzania, for seventy orphaned children. Each of the 'cottages' has a 'mama', and is where the children can enjoy education, play, healthcare and love. Article 25 are also building a pre-school, the only one of its kind within a 1,000 mile radius, purpose built with disabled children in mind. It includes classrooms for 160 children, rooms for music, play, and physiotherapy and a sensory garden.
