CARE FOR DIGNITY AND INNOVATION
CDI has been spreading awareness by speaking with individuals in community spaces, like markets and village centers. CDI team members wear masks and hand out visual signage to share the message for hand washing and social distance. CDI is looking to increase their efforts by providing masks and hand soap to hand to members of the community as they campaign about the pandemic.
CDI believes that an empowered youth can create a huge impact in the community. Therefore, CDI advocates for the rights of young people aged 15 to 35 years through capacity building and creating awareness.
Children with disabilities are among the most vulnerable and marginalized groups in Tanzania. Despite the Government’s efforts to support primary education, 98% of children with disabilities are not in school and the rate of children with a disability enrolled in schools is only 0.3%.
