Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania

CCBRT, a Tanzanian non-governmental organization, was established in 1994 in response to the needs of people with disabilities in and around Dar es Salaam and the lack of accessible services to them. CCBRT has grown rapidly into a large and comprehensive rehabilitation program. Today it comprises two community-based rehabilitation (CBR) programs in Dar es Salaam and Moshi, a disability hospital, and an active international training program. CCBRT is the largest indigenous provider of disability and rehabilitation services in the country, providing quality rehabilitative services to 120,000 people with disabilities and their caregivers each year.

CCBRT is located in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania's biggest city. It serves a total population of three million people living in Dar es Salaam and seven million in the surrounding regions of Pwani, Morogoro, Tanga, Zanzibar and Pemba.

CCBRT Community Rehabilitation Kilimanjaro covers a total population of almost two million, including Moshi (rural and urban areas), Mwanga, Hai, Arumeru and Karatu districts in Arusha.
