Why we Exist

People with disabilities represent the world’s largest minority and children with disabilities (CwD) are some of the most disadvantaged in the world. Child Support Tanzania exists to redress this global imbalance.

Research indicates that violence against children with disabilities occurs at least 1.7 times more often than for their peers without disabilities, and that girls with disabilities are 3 times more likely to experience sexual abuse than those without.

A significant proportion of children with disabilities are denied access to basic services such as education, health care or social inclusion.As a result, under age five mortality for children with disabilities is as high as 80%. In education, children with disabilities are far less likely to go to school, or to stay in school once they get there.

This is too often further exasperated by compounding barriers of discrimination based on gender, ethnicity or economic background. The exclusion and invisibility of children with disabilities can render them uniquely vulnerable.
