Kwa kipindi cha miezi mitatu yaani kuanzia March-June/2020 ikiwa ni baada ya serikali ya Tanzania kutangaza rasmi juu ya namna ya kila mwananchi kutambua, kuchukua hatua za kujikinga, kuzuia na kutoa taarifa ama kujitokeza kupima endapo atagundua kuwa na dalili za kuwa na virusi vya Corona katika vituo vya afya, Baadhi ya makundi ya watu wenye ulemavu yaani; Wasioona, Wenye uoni hafifu na Watu wenye ulemavu wa viungo ambao walikuwa wakipata mahitaji yao kwa njia ya kuombaomba mitaani waliweza kukabiliwa na changamoto za njaa, unyanyapaa, ubaguzi na kushindwa kabisa kupata mahitaji ya kila siku kulingana na serikali ya Tanzania kwa kushirikiana na Shirika la afya la ulimwengu (WHO) kutangaza njia zinazopaswa kuchukuliwa na kila mtu katika kuyakabili maambukizi ya virusi vya Corona.

Baadhi ya kanuni zilizowekwa na kusababisha shida na dhiki kwa makundi hay ani; 1. Kunawa mikono mara kwa mara kwa maji yanayotiririka kwa sabuni ama kwa kutumia kitakasa mikono.

2. kutokugusa uso, pua,, macho na mdomo.

3. kutokushikana ama kusalimiana kwa kumshika mkono mtu ye yote.

4. kukaa umbali wa mita moja hadi tat una mtu unayemhitaji kuzungumza naye ana kwa ana.

Kanuni hizi zilileta dhahama kubwa kwani kwa Wasioona Maisha yao ya kila siku hutegemea sana milango ya fahamu ya kugusa, kushika, kusikia na kunusa jambo ambalo lilikuwa linashikiliwa kwa asilimia 99 na kanuni nilizozitaja hapo juu, Kulingana na adha hii, Makundi haya yay a Watu wenye ulemavu yaliweza kuwa ni waathirika wakuu kwani hata ile misaada waliyokuwa wakiikusanya toka kwa wasamaria, wapendwa wenye huruma na hisani hawakuonekana tena na hata watu wenye ulemavu wenyewe waliingiwa na hofu kubwa dhidi ya kifo inayosababishwa na kuenea na kuambukizwa kwa virusi vya Corona.

Hebu fikiria> Asiyeona anapogundulika kuwa ameambukizwa virusi vya Corona na anatakiwa kukaa karantini kwa siku 14 ni maswaibu gani yanayomkuta tofauti na yule anayeona? Wapo watu wenye ulemavu waliopoteza uhai wao kutokana na kukutwa na kushambuliwa na virusi vya Corona mwenyezi Mungu na azilaze roho zao peponi.

Janga hili limetufundisha mambo mengi hususan sisi watu wenye ulemavu, Kwani katika kipindi hicho wenye daladala waliweza kukataa Wasioona na Wenye ulemavu wa viungo kupanda magari yao kwakuwa tu wakiwashika wanaweza kuwaambukiza virusi vya Corona, Licha ya uwepo wa matukio kadha wa kadha yenye kuonesha unyanyapaa na ubaguzi unaotokana na matokeo ya athari za COVID-19 Ni vema tukaikumbusha serikali, Wadau wa maendeleo na jamii kwa ujumla kwamba, majanga mbalimbali yanapotokea ni vema ubunifu wo wote unaobuniwa ili kuyakabili majanga hay ani vema uwe ni ule usiotenga kundi lolote la watu, ni vema ukawa shiriki, shirikishi na jumuishi, wenye kuzingatia mazingira Rafiki kwa kila mtu, usiovunja utu wa mtu wala heshima yake, Uwe wenye kulenga na kutoa thamani kwa kila mtu kwani hakuna haki bila watu wenye ulemavu.

Katika kipindi hicho, Watu wenye ulemavu tulishuhudia misaada ikitolewa kwa taasisi za afya pasipo kukumbuka kuwa yapo makundi ya watu wenye ulemavu ambayo hana uwezo wa kupata Barakoa, vifaa vya kunawia mikono na sabuni, Hata wabunifu wa Barakoa na vifaa vingine walipoanza kufanya ugunduzi wao walitengeneza vifaa vyao pasipo kufikiria kuwa Asiyeoona akivaa Barakoa yenye lastiki ya kubana masikio ataweza kusikia maumivu sana hali angali akiyategemea masikio hay ohayo katika kusikiliza vema, kufunikwa kwa pua kunamfanya asiweze kunusa vema ili kutambua anachokihitaji ili kumudu shughuli zake za kila siku, Wengine walitengeneza vifaa vya kunawia mikono vyenye kutumia mguu kukanyaga ili maji na sabuni viweze kutoka huku wakijua kuwa wapo watu wenye ulemavu wa viungo ambao hawawezi kutumia mguu kupata huduma hiyo, Hivyo basi, Hali hii, iliweza kubainisha wazi ukiukwaji na uvunjwaji wa sharia ya watu wenye ulemavu na hakuna chombo cho chote kilichoweza kusimamia ama kutoa maamuzi yenye kuwasaidia na kulind haki ya mahitaji ya wenye ulemavu japokuwa viongozi wenye mamlaka, watoa maamuzi na watunga sera walikuwepo wakitoa maelekezo na maagizo ya namna ya kulinusuru taifa letu dhidi ya maambukizi ya virusi vya Corona.

Watu wenye ulemavu nchini Tanzania inatupasa tushikamane kwa pamoja katika kuitetea, kuisukuma na kuifuatilia sharia namba 9 ya mwaka 2010 (sharia ya watu wenye ulemavu ya Haki, Ulinzi na usalama) ikiwa ni nyenzo munimu ya kutokomboa dhidi ya vitendo vya unyanyapaa na ubaguzi katika mapambano ya ubora na thamani ya Maisha yetu.

 ABOUT CADA

CADA is an acronym that stands for Christian Association for Development Aid.  It is a Christian charity, non-profit, non-denominational, humanitarian aid and development organization which was formed in 1990 and officially registered in May 1990 by the Ministry of Home Affairs under the societies ordinance (Reg. No. SO No. 6797) and committed to improve the quality of life of people in the poorest communities and to give every person the opportunity to hear about the good news of Jesus Christ.  It is made up of members from different Christian denominations. As followers of Jesus Christ we are raising people to walk into a better future.  Every group of women, men, and young people are organizing themselves to confront the enormous challenges arising from entrenched poverty and ill health.  These situations are themselves linked to many other factors.   These include economic and social mismanagement, poor governance, failing investments, and climate change.

We are called to respond firmly and with conviction to these challenges confronting the communities.  Jesus own first public utterance “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, therefore he has anointed me.  He has sent me to bring good tidings to the poor” (Lk. 4:18) invite us to take such action.  Again, in the parable of the last judgment we are told that we will be judged according to how we respond to the hungry, the thirsty, the naked and the stranger amongst us (Mt. 25:31-46).  Christian Association for Development and Aid (CADA) have to come to the forefront of this struggle.  We believe deeply that these oppressive conditions are temporary and that a new and better life is possible and within reach.  CADA operates in the Mara Region of Tanzania.

Our Vision,Mission and Values

                             VISION

CADA vision is to bring hope and build the capacities of marginalized and disadvantaged communities

                           MISSION

CADA Mission is to change lives of poor people through the compassion and connect them in fight to end poverty, working together and build the health enviroments they need to thrive in their communities

OUR CORE VALUES

CADA look forward to a society in which all can enjoy well being. Life in which care, reciprocity, acceptance, openness and equality are core values.  CADA is built on the collective experience to confront and respond to the many issues that threaten people’s fullness of life, and the well-being of their families, grass-root groups and communities.  We have learnt to rely on the leading of the Holy Spirit, on the integrity and on the importance of enabling people to take responsibility for improving their own lives.  CADA believe that human dignity comes from God, who breathed life into us and in whose image we are created.  Also CADA recognizes that human beings depend for their survival, wellbeing and prosperity on certain material conditions.  All persons have a right to live in peace and to participate in community with others.  Similarity, people have the right to earn a decent living which for many will be through gainful employment but for most will be through the work of their own hands in agriculture and enterprise.  Access to good nutrition and health care, education, and to acquiring a skill and other tools of a trade, are other basic human requisites for wellbeing.

CADA believe that society has a duty to make the realization of human wellbeing possible, and that we should be more supportive of people’s struggles to realize it.  For example, we believe that all persons should therefore have a right to social protection in the circumstances of sickness, disability, childhood, old age and unemployment.  Following the value of our vision, we consider that the poor and those who are socially vulnerable have the strongest claims on the conscience of society and the church. 

Strategic focus 2019 – 2024

CADA has identified the following key themes as central to its work:

1. Improving the conditions and quality of life of marginalized and disadvantaged groups: 

• § People with disabilities
• § Orphans and vulnerable children
• § Widows
• § Elderly poor 

2. Improving the lives and opportunities of women, youth and men skills

3. Securing the food security of rural and urban poor

4. Responding more effectively to health challenges and HIV and AIDS

5. Promotion of evangelism.

6. Information and Documentation centre.

7. Strengthening the capacity of grassroots community based groups.

8. Securing the food security of rural and urban poor.

9. Environmental problems.

 Improving the conditions and quality of life of marginalized and disadvantaged groups:

• § People with disabilities

The challenge

Persons with disabilities in Mara Region are among the poorest of the poor, too little attention has been paid to them so far in development programmes.  Poverty, under-development and lack of resources in Mara Region have also an impact on the prevalence of disability and the less than adequate response by government.  Landmines and unexploded ordinance, and road accidents contribute greatly to the prevalence of disability.  In poor, rural communities, poverty, inadequate pre-post-and neo-natal health care, and the youth and illiteracy of mothers, all contribute to the increase in disability and exacerbate the conditions of disability among young women and newborns.  Persons with disability in the Mara Region have suffered no more no less of the discrimination and marginalization that all persons with disabilities have suffered throughout the country.  Services and aid to persons with disabilities were motivated by pity and charity, and predominantly provided by religious – based institutions and organizations.

One of the main challenges facing the recognition of the rights of persons with disabilities in the region, is the recognition of disability itself.  Without accurate and reliable data on the size, scope, types, prevalence and causes of disability, there can be no appropriate services or programmes and no proper response to the needs.  Persons with disabilities are a source of shame, a financial burden, even seen as a curse on their families

Our Response

CADA will facilitate community members to understand better the key cause and prevention of disability.  Therefore will promote landmine education and public awareness campaigns about the dangers of unexploded cluster bombs, and the like.  Public education and awareness about road safety and the dangers of reckless speed.  To increase the legal age for marriage and to provide young mothers with health and nutrition training, particularly in rural and poorer communities.

Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCS)

Challenge 

There is a growing number of orphans and vulnerable children in rural and urban areas of Mara Region.  Children have lost both parents, divorce, unwanted pregnancy, sexually exploited girls and re-marriage of deserted, resulting in psychological, social, educational and health consequences.  They are left without care and support.  Most orphans and vulnerable children have run away from their guardians and caregivers due to severe neglect and abuse.  

Our Response

Strengthen communities to support holistic child development and welfare at family, caregivers and community, and to improve the access of orphans and vulnerable children to health, education and social protection.

Widows

Challenge

Widows are among the most vulnerable in the community.  The social stigma attached to them deprives them of their basic human rights.  They are prey of physical and sexual assaults and harassments, accused of various sexual missed and are socially marginalized.  Prevented from inheriting her rightful assets, including things she herself brought into marriage.

Our Response

Promoting the welfare and economic empowerment of disadvantaged widows and education of their children and provide free healthcare in our community Health Centres and campaign to end harmful cultural practices which ignore the human rights of widows and lead to their dire poverty and social exclusion. 

Elderly poor

Challenge

Older adults face particular problems due to their age and life circumstances in the region, the elderly, they are taken care by family members.  However, due to financial strains and many other reasons there are a number of individuals growing old and finding themselves without a family to help them.  No health services, no food, no home care assistance.

Our Response

Making sure our loved ones are safe health, and happy in their own homes.  We need to ensure that the activities of daily living are met and they are receiving treatment in our CADA community Health Centres free of charge (James 1:27)

Emphasis

CADA will take the following steps to respond to conditions and quality of life of marginalized and disadvantaged:

1. 1. Mobilize communities to understand and respond to issues of poverty and inequalities and factors that affect their livelihood.
2. 2. Raising awareness, education and counseling.
3. 3. Developing and establishing rehabilitation centres and children homes.
4. 4. Building small community banks for WIDOWS savings and loans

Improving the lives and opportunities of women youth and men skills

Challenges

Recognizing the importance and need to introduce technical skills in various fields to women, youth and men, CADA will make arrangement to conduct programmes in this respect.  It should be noted that lack of appropriate skills is one of big problems facing the people of Mara Region and this partly explains the existence of the serious problem of unemployment especially among youths in this region.

Our Response

Promoting and generating employment opportunities to men, women, and youth and improving income of the people through developing and sustaining a technical oriented culture among the people.

Emphasis

1. 1. Improve skills and capability to start and manage own project.
2. 2. Collaborate with institutions responsible for the promotion and development of vocational training in the country and internationally.

 Strengthening the capacity of grassroot community based groups.

Challenges:

The role of the grassroot community based groups in the development process has received wide recognitions and need not be emphasized here.  Unfortunately these grassroot groups are incapacitated to execute their tasks to optimum level.  A few of the shortfalls are; inadequate elementary managerial skills technical skills, and lack or insufficient resource base.

Our Response

CADA intends to address these short comings in order to make and/or enable grassroot community groups contribute meaning fully in terms of their own development and overall social and economic development on a sustainable basis.  Identify grassroot community groups and training.

Emphasis

• Increasing efficiency and effectiveness of grassroots community groups.

Securing the food security of rural and urban poor.

Challenges

In the community agriculture, there is an inadequate use of appropriate technology leading to declining productivity. Climate change and growing urban population pose challenges that will be much more difficult to solve.  Community produces less food than it requires.

Our Response

The majority of community members engaged in agricultural do so on a subsistence basis to meet the requirements of the family and then market any surplus production locally.  To address the food security situation, the ability of individuals and local communities to produce, access and afford food in sufficient quantities and quality.

Emphasis

To strengthen the food security of rural and urban poor CADA will:

1. 1. Enable community member to promote farming methods that respect seed rights and are eco-friendly.
2. 2. Enable farmers groups and individual farmers to acquire appropriate agriculture technology.
3. 3. Promote indigenous food crops that are adaptive to drought
4. 4. Support initiatives of poor urban households to improve their quality of life.

Responding to health challenges and HIV and AIDS

Challenges

Health delivery remains to be one of the leading problems facing the people of Mara Region, especially the poor rural community based masses.  It is greatly disturbing to note that the most affected groups resulting from poor health delivery programmes in rural mothers, children, disabled persons, widows, orphans, elderly poor and vulnerable children.  Many of community members of poor rural areas lack access to adequate health services even where they are able to pay.  Others lack access because they cannot afford the direct and indirect costs, including hospital charges, the long distances it may take to travel to a health facility, and having to pay for many of the drugs and services they need.  Many people suffer irreparable damage and death because they lack access to qualified medical personnel.  As a result many rely on alternative health care providers such as traditional herbalists, false prophets and healers and the use of indigenous medicine.

HIV and AIDS continue to present fundamental challenges to individual, families and communities.  The pandemic kills many community members each year, often leaving behind poor and stressed spouses, children, relatives and communities.  Next to Malaria, HIV and AIDS is still the leading cause of death in poor rural communities.  CADA is operating three Community Health Centres in poor remote rural areas and in contributing towards the fight against health problems facing marginalized and disadvantaged groups and poor community members.  Many poor patients come to the heath centres already in debilitated condition and must spend many days at the health centre before they can return home.  Likewise those who come for treatment are often unable to pay for these services, and CADA give them treatment free of charge.  In many cases abandoned by their relatives with no source of food or comfort during their stay.  The health centres are not equipped to meet the heavy demands placed by such patients on existing human, material and financial resources.  

Our Response

Providing medical care to vulnerable communities free of charge and creating awareness to expectant mother on health care and family planning, health centre building and renovating the same, procurement of health equipment and facilities.  Increasing access to HIV/AIDS information, education and training for poor communities of Mara Region.

Emphasis

CADA will:

1. 1. Improving health standard of marginalized, disadvantaged, poor communities, mother and the child.
2. 2. Strengthen the ability of community members to participate in the prevention and treatment of Malaria and TB.
3. 3. Link with other agencies to advocate for access to health care for all.

Environmental Problems

Challenges

In Mara Region, environmental problems began with chance increases in climatic (low rainfall, etc.) which led to ecological crises (drought, and so forth).  These were compounded by the use of wood as people’s only source of energy.  Over the years this brought severe deforestation, which in turn caused soil degradation and in consequence, desertification and hence a real energy crisis in both urban and rural areas.  What followed was a fall in the quantity and quality of surface and subterranean water, aggravated by human activities such as over – pasturing, and not forgetting the impoverishment of degraded soil by the use of techniques that destroy ecosystems.

 Our Response

Raising awareness campaign on the management and exploitation of vegetable resources, particularly on reforestation through a programme of village forestry that legislates for the planting of trees and fruit trees, and an educational reorganization of charcoal burners.

 Emphasis

Promoting environmental education to enable people living in villages to create frameworks for the discussion of the causes and consequences of the degradation of their environment.

 Promotion of Evangelism

Challenges

In remote rural communities in Mara Region are unreached with gospel and need very urgent action leading to the development of the people spiritually and physically.

Our Response

Reaching the unreached people with the Gospel.  CADA will team up with Christians and concentrate on evangelism and discipleship training.  This includes open-air meetings, person to person witnessing, revival meetings leadership seminars Christian Ethics youth Ministry and Counseling and interschool rallies.

 Information and Documentation Centre

Challenge

Information is a source of power and control and therefore an important and powerful tool for a society in general without a proper information system, planning is done inconsistently resulting in poor policy formulation and decision making.  Unfortunately in our society, information collection, storage and retrieval and dissemination remain a serious problem.

Our Response

In this regard an information and documentation centre is to be established.  It s expected to play a major role in CADA’S constituency.  To provide a central pool of information and Data collection for the purpose of easy dissemination of the same, nationally, regionally and internationally.  Strengthening information between grassroot communities, government and other agencies, national and international.  Establishing a documentation centre.

Emphasis

Improving information storage, retrieval and dissemination/information flow.

PEACE BUILDING AND CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION

In Mara Region there has been an on and off clans clashes over several decades.  CADA has experienced most of Tarime and Rorya Districts families losing lives, homes, cattle’s, farms and properties in massive fights.  Issues like land disputes and cattle raids are a common cause of clan’s fights.  This has led to haltered and mostly when the youths grow up they remember their fore fathers & family members who were killed at these clans fights.  It’s like there is always a cold war.

Response

CADA believes that the Holy Spirit of God touches souls to gives wisdom, proper and peaceful techniques to help these clans live a peaceful life.  CADA will intervene and hold peace trainings and workshops.

CADA will help the youths of such clans work and live an brothers and sisters wherever they are.    CADA will conduct Bible readings, counseling and reconciliation.

Volunteers provided education, training, disease awareness, family planning components and treatment of common diseases. Immunization now covers of 95% of the children in target communities.

The programmes has had considerable success. Infant and maternal mortality is down.
