BLENDER FOR PERSON WITH DISABILITIES

A Simple Blender, A Life Transformed
For many, a blender is just a kitchen tool. For a person with disabilities, it can be a gateway to independence, confidence, and dignity.
At The Desk And Chair Foundation, we are on a mission to empower individuals living with disabilities by providing essential appliances that make daily life easier. Each blender we donate helps someone prepare their own meals, gain self-reliance, and reclaim a sense of normalcy in their day-to-day life.
You can be the reason someone smiles today. Join our Blender Donation Project-your gift, no matter the size, can make a life-changing difference.

Mattresses Donation: A Growing Need in Our Communities

Every day, many vulnerable families in our communities face a challenge that is often unseen but deeply felt — the lack of a proper place to sleep. For many children, elderly people, persons with disabilities, and struggling families, a mattress is not a basic household item but a luxury they cannot afford.

Through its ongoing community outreach programs, The Desk and Chair Foundation has identified mattresses as one of the most urgent needs in society. In many homes, several children share a thin mat on the floor, while some elderly individuals and people with disabilities sleep directly on hard surfaces, exposing them to health risks, discomfort, and sleepless nights.

A simple mattress can transform a life. It provides dignity, comfort, better health, and proper rest — especially for growing children, recovering patients, and elderly members of the community.

We are therefore calling upon individuals, companies, philanthropists, and well-wishers to support this important cause by donating new mattresses to help families who cannot afford them.

Your support can make a real difference. A mattress may seem simple, but to someone in need, it is a gift of comfort, care, and humanity.

Together, we can ensure that every person has a safe and comfortable place to rest.

To support or partner with this initiative, please reach out to The Desk and Chair Foundation and help us bring comfort and dignity to those who need it most.

Appeal for building waiting bay at Nyamagana district health center.

Salaams everybody,

TDCF is planning to start to build a simple waiting bay for parents at our Nyamagana district health center.

This center caters to about 120 patients daily and as you can see the patients be it, babies, children, parents and elderly all waiting outside in all weathers waiting to be called inside by the doctor.

The photos you see where the Toyota hardtop is parked is where the maternity clinic is done on a daily basis.

The charges for the treatment are only 2000/- per patient.
The center is highly subsidized by the Government and I C H I F (IMPROVED COMMUNITY HEALTH INSURANCE FUND)

Which is tshs 30,000/- per family of six people per annum ie tshs 5000/- per head per annum.

The approximate cost of the waiting bay is tshs 12m/-
ie ukp £4000 (rate 3000/- average)

The shelter will accommodate 120 people from the protection of the African sunlight and rain.

TDCF has been given the building permit and once we get a doner we can start the work immediately.

They will allow us to put a plaque mentioning donor names and other educational messages Re health issues.

On one side we will build a full wall and a blackboard will be painted so the waiting bay can also be used for providing health-related education to these poor citizens and also conduct blood donation drives as availability of blood donors is an issue due to lack of knowledge to the public at large.

Please contact us if you need any further information on this. Thank you.
