    Hi.
    I am Ombeni Mbise from Mwanza Tanzania,
    I hold a group for Youth.Now we want to conduct a foundation to determine the Children with special needs(dissables) as in Mwanza most of these children are being left at home as their parents scares to expose them due to the fear of being laughed at by the people.The project aims at educating and doing whatever we can to let those families bring out the children for education and other needs like other children.We have worked to get finance.at least we have a little but due to the fact that the areas are very remote,the fund is not enough so we are looking for the good Samaritans to help us financially to support the project to succeed.
    Thank you a lot.
