The founder, who was a teacher, realized in 2005 that a great number of children in the public schools exhibit learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity and teachers have very little knowledge and pedagogical skills to teach to meet their special needs. Consequently, many of such children drop out of school, work and sell at streets or sleep on the streets. The founder graduated in 2012 at University of Education in Special Education and started a Campaign for learning disabilities. The project seeks to improve learning outcome for children with learning disabilities and to reduce school dropout among such children through teacher training, public awareness, parents empowerment, remedial teaching and in-class support for local teachers in teaching children with learning disabilities.
Goal: School and teacher support to improve learning outcome, retention and completion rate for children with learning disabilities.
The aim is to support and provide pedagogical advise to teaching staff in order to teach to meet the needs of children with learning and attention problems through teaching, remedial classes and in-service training for teachers.
