Heshima Association

Heshima programs include; special education, physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy. We currently have 52 children in our programs. We also provide the mothers of the disabled childreen with a job on the Heshima campus; cooks, cleaners, teacher assistants and artisans that make jewelry for sale. We provide 2 hot meals per day to the mom and child as well as cover the costs for their medical care; this might include hiv meds, seizure meds, malaria meds, de-worming meds as well as orthopedic surgeries when needed. We work with families that are very poor and live in the slum area around Heshima.
