Since its formation in 2005, Pos+Abilities has helped thousands of children and their families through health care and education. Practical initiatives with local partners have enabled us to create a sustainable model for increased independence and a brighter future for many more children, their families and health care workers in Tanzania and surrounding areas.

Pos+Abilities is proud to be a founding member of the Tanzania Rehabilitation Initiative – a program to increase accessibility to rehabilitation services for children and families affected by disability. Where many survive on subsistence farming, disabilities such as those incurred through the high rate of road accidents, severely impact quality of life and even survival.

Pos+Abilities is a program of Global Peace Network, a registered Canadian charity, and is administered by a Board of Directors based in Toronto, Ontario with the support of an executive committee and volunteers who assist with fundraising and who travel overseas to deliver care through our clinical network. Our work is unpaid so that 100 % of donations go to build health and a sustainable future for vulnerable citizens of rural Tanzania. We work with partners in Tanzania to help us determine their needs and who act as our eyes and ears in local communities.

Our history
Our mission and vision
Get involved
Pos+Abilities began in 2005 when Daniel Budgell travelled to Tanzania on an aid project to build a rainwater catchment system for a rural health clinic. Struck by the poverty, he saw an opportunity to help children living in the street and began sponsoring 5 kids whom he sent to school.
When Dan returned to Canada, his friends offered to help and in 2007, Pos+Abilities was formally registered as a Canadian charity under the organizational name of Global Peace Network. From 5 children, we have grown into supporting hundreds over the years and we are now responsible for two rehabilitation centres, one of which is also a birthing centre.

"It was incredible. Being a clinician and working with local medical officers allowed me to grow professionally and personally. The relationships that I formed through the experience continue to influence my life today. "
