Inclusive Schooling for Children with Disabilities

Dear Donors and Well Wishers,

Greetings from India!!

The last year was very fruitful and very encouraging to us. We have successfully implemented the project. The inclusive school in Gujarat has made very good progress. The school strength has also increased, now we have 283 students from a very poor family, and 29 students are having different types of disability. We have also started inclusive library services for the students in the school with your support. 

The various competitions such as reading, writing, mathematics, science fair, sports have been organized for the comprehensive development of the students. The regular Parents Teachers meeting was organized to share concerns, and progress of the child. 

This experiences and your continuous supports and motivation has encouraged us to expand such education services in a needy and remote area. We have taken an initiative to start an inclusive schooling program named Prayas "Comprehensive Development Resource and Rehabilitation Centre for Children with Disability".  The centre was inaugurated on 5th September 2019 on Teachers Day. The centre has adopted a very unique approach for inclusive services. The disability-specific services as Braille reading writing support, sign language support, physiotherapy and other informal academic support will be provided at the centre. The children who are severely disabled, and can not come to the centre, these children with disabilities will be provided such services at doorsteps.  Now, 28 students have already started accessing the services of the centre. 

We are once again thanking you for your wonderful support, and encouragement. We wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2020 in Advance. 

Thanking you
