Community Action for People with Disabilities in Africa (CAPDA)

Community Action for People with Disabilities in Africa (CAPDA)^[1] is an Australian aid and development organisation working in Moshi, Tanzania.

CAPDA's stated aims are to provide:

• basic primary assessment and care to people with disabilities
• training and skill development for families and carers of people with disabilities
• simple equipment for assisting mobility and ease of care, such as wheelchairs, walkers, positioning supports and splints. ^[2]

CAPDA works closely with local Tanzanian community-based organizations such as Building a Caring Community (BCC) and Comprehensive Community Based Rehabilitation in Tanzania (CCBRT).
