1. In Tanzania, different models of disability are evident across society. The Moral Model often manifests in traditional beliefs where disabilities are viewed as a result of supernatural forces or punishment, leading to stigma and marginalization. The Medical Model is prominent in healthcare, where disabilities are primarily treated as medical conditions requiring clinical intervention, often overlooking the socio-economic factors at play. However, the Social Model is increasingly being recognized by advocacy groups and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of creating inclusive environments and addressing societal barriers that prevent people with disabilities from fully participating in community life.
