The Heart Behind KAYA

KAYA Foundation is a non-profit organization registered in Tanzania. We work to ensure that children with disabilities — especially those living with conditions such as spina bifida and hydrocephalus — can access education, health, justice, and equal opportunities.

We also support women caregivers, who often shoulder the burden of care alone, through economic empowerment programs and legal protection. At KAYA, we believe no child or caregiver should be left behind.

From Caregiving to Entrepreneurship

We helped over 100 women who were once struggling to provide for their families, are now running small businesses that generate steady income.
