Sense International is the only international non-governmental organisation dedicated to supporting people with deafblindness and their families around the world.

We collaborate with local, national and international partners to deliver tailored support and technical expertise where it is needed. We work alongside people with deafblindness and their families, as well as teachers, health professionals, and governments.

Every penny we raise helps to support more children like Faizi.

Four year old Faizi was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy at 8 months old. He wasn't reaching the same developmental milestones as other babies, and as he continues to grow he struggles with sitting, standing and walking as well as suffering with partial blindness.

For over a year now he has been attending an early intervention centre set up by Sense International Tanzania, and receiving therapy including physical exercises, therapeutic play activities to help him develop communication and socialisation skills, and eye treatment, whilst his mother is taught skills she can use to help him continue to progress at home.

Now, Faizi is able to sit independently and even walk using a walking frame, and his eye strength has improved.

“I am so grateful for the program and all the support it has provided for my child, because I have seen a positive impact on his health.” - Faizi’s mother
