programme updateTransforming classrooms into universally designed spaces where learners with sensory, physical, and cognitive impairments thrive.


In short
Children with disabilities are often the first to be left behind. We work with teachers, families and health partners so they can learn in the same classroom as everyone else.
Lessons planned so every child can take part, whatever their ability.
Screening camps that find sight, hearing and mobility needs early.
Spectacles, hearing aids, tactile books and wheelchairs supplied and maintained.
Classroom buddies who help build a welcoming school culture.
Inclusion works best when it is part of how a school teaches every day, not an extra programme.
