About Us

Empowering Persons with Disabilities in Tanzania

Tanzania Center for Disabilities Development Initiatives (TCDDI) is a civil society organization dedicated to advocating for the rights, inclusion, and full participation of persons with disabilities across Tanzania.

We work across communities to break down barriers — physical, social, economic, and political — that prevent persons with disabilities from living full and dignified lives.

Through strategic partnerships, community engagement, and direct program delivery, TCDDI drives meaningful, lasting change for disability inclusion in Tanzania.

"We believe every person, regardless of ability, has the right to participate fully in society."
