Agarimo for Africa and Vijiji Tanzania.
Agarimo for Africa arises from the desire to pursue social change by addressing childhood physical disability in least developed countries through early stimulation protocols. At once, it works with Vijiji Tanzania with an intention to boost the local economy by generating employment wherever the projects are carried out.
The idea of the association was born during a trip to Tanzania during which Ledicia Pérez, Agarimo for Africa´s founder, visited several schools for children with disabilities. Upon her return home in Tenerife, Ledicia feels the need to do something to improve the quality of life of children who do not have access to rehabilitation treatments. Two months later, in November 2021, she registers Agarimo for Africa as a Non-profit organization in Spain with the initial focus in Mbeya, Tanzania.
