About Us The Story & mission

📖 Our Story Since 2009
Gabriella Centre is a non-governmental organization started in July 2009. It is a centre that deals with children and youth with AUTISM and other Neurodevelopmental disorders which lead to learning and physical disabilities. The centre provides assessment, education, and intervention for children, including training for the parents.
What began as a small initiative has grown into a comprehensive rehabilitation centre serving hundreds of children and families across Tanzania.
