In Kaabong District, a significant number of school-age children with special education needs remain out of school. Currently, only 2% of these children are enrolled in school. Unfortunately, even this small percentage often drops out due to inadequate attention from stakeholders and a lack of suitable infrastructure to support their learning.
This project aims to create a conducive learning environment and increase the accommodation capacity of schools, ensuring these children receive the education and support they deserve
