Child-Help Tanzania’s main focus is helping children with Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus in Tanzania.<\/p>\n
When children receive proper treatment at the beginning of their lives, the basis for a fulfilling life with their families, communities, and regular schools is laid.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
With the aid of local partners, Child-Help constructs programmes to provide life-long support both to children with Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida and their families.<\/p>\n
To guarantee the quality of care provided, Child-Help Tanzania trains everyone involved: the children and their parents, self-help groups, nurses, pediatricians, paramedics, and surgeons.<\/p>\n
Child-Help undertakes primary prevention in all projects by providing folic acid and proper diet education, thus significantly lessening the chance of children being born with spina bifida.<\/p>\n
With the right materials, medication, and a couple of simple techniques we train children with spina bifida and their parents. It only takes a couple of days for most children to get dry and clean. This type of care is vital in preventing renal damage.<\/p>\n
Child-help launches support actions in areas where disasters strike and where our partners are active. During the corona epidemic, we provided face masks, disinfectants, and food parcels.<\/p>\n
Every year Child-Help donates thousands of shunts and other medical equipment, including catheters and medication, ensuring children with Hydrocephalus and Spina Bifida get a new lease on life.<\/p>\n
