Tumbuni Center for Children with Special Needs

Tumbuni Center for Children with Special Needs

Tumbuni is a community that supports children with special needs. Once in the center, the children are enrolled to different informal training programs such as tailoring, carpentry and many more craft courses depending on their ability to learn. The center has councelling and community outreach programs to enable the kids to reintergrate into the society once they are trained.

"If our community could push away the mentality that the mentally and physically challenged are a curse in the community then we would be doing much better. I love Tumbuni Community Center because they are caring and loving. They understand me and appreciate all that I do."
