The Cedar Foundation Tanzania (www.cedartanzania.org) builds on the work achieved by The Cedar Foundation in Bulgaria (www.cedarfoundation.org), where, since 2005, it led the process of closing down inappropriate orphanages for severely disabled children and young adults and replacing them with family-type accommodation in a community setting. The organisation also supported day care services for children with special needs and worked with local municipalities to train staff to the highest professional standards.
Having registered as an international charity and completed projects in Bulgaria, the foundation registered as a not-for-profit company in Tanzania in 2014 (Company number 111373, TIN 125-320-783) to support communities to develop long-term, sustainable solutions to a range of issues.
