Zarshedabonu

Zarshedabonu was founded in 2001 by 5 Tajik women touched by the bad life conditions of many other women. Soon the organization started to mobilize and educate women on their legal position. Mothers of children with a disability (CWDs) appeared to be particularly affected and the organisation developed in supporting families of CWD and providing services. The organization’s objective is to make medical, social & educational services available and accessible for marginalized groups. They have worked with Mission East, other INGOs and a range of other Tajik organisations in projects to make people more aware of disability and disability rights and to make rehabilitation therapy available to CWD. They also manage rehab centres with the support of the Tajik Ministry of Health
