Disabled or disadvantaged children, often called "special kids", find it particularly difficult to be integrated and to cope with everyday school life in Kenya.
Later, when it comes to vocational training, work and family support, these people also have a much harder time because they lack the basic skills for an independent existence.
Now we can help: Caroline Bugo, the headmistress of Galana River School, can attend an in-service training if funding is secured.
Caroline will be able to attend an in-service training course over the next 1.5 years to support and integrate particularly disadvantaged children.
This paves the way for the children to lead a self-determined life in the future.

Disadvantaged children in the Mwanza community
Madame Caroline is our PP2 class teacher, she is a state-employed teacher and very great with the children! As we have several Special Kids here, the idea came up to train her - I thought it was a great idea and as the course started immediately at the beginning of the holidays, I sent her there! The training will take place over 1.5 years in several terms (blocks) - she will not only learn how to deal with disabled children, but also, for example, blind language.
At the moment we have 5-7 children who are supposed to go to a Special Kids School, the oldest is Halima (14 years old), then Moringa (10 years old), his little sister Caroline (3 or 4 years old), a boy from the Ormars and a few who are "poor learners"
Total cost: about 1900 € plus transport, books about 50 €.
