Long-Term Impact

This facility will create a safe, dignified and stimulating learning environment for children who are currently excluded. Expected outcomes include increased enrolment and attendance, improved social-communication and adaptive skills, strengthened local teacher capacity in inclusive education, and a sustainable model that can be adopted by neighbouring districts. The facility will be integrated into the district education system after project close-out so the gains are sustained.
