Special Needs

At the beginning of 2003 we were able to realize a dream of helping students with special needs. Often these young people were neglected and marginalized by their families and the community, and received no education.

The special needs class is the first of its type in the whole Rakai district and is a model for education authorities to see in action. At present the program focuses on deaf students who are taught sign language and communciation skills and then the same education skills as the other children.

The impact of this program on other students and the community has been very noticable as people have come to see the abilities of the special needs students. Special needs classes are small because students need special attention and assistance and many of them still need sponsors. For more information click here
