Project Description

Country: India

Location: Chennai

Total Budget: $4,000

Area of Focus: Basic education and literacy

Activity Type: Education: Literacy

Summary: Early intervention of the mentally retarded students at an early age with educational tools and training


Kumaran Special school in Chennai, India caters for a group of very poor moderately to severely mentally retarded students in the age group of 6 years to 14 years. The school is making every effort to eventually provide opportunities for a normal living and for inclusion into the general society. The parents of these students can only afford a minimal or no fees to enroll their children. The school currently is run by meager donations and cannot afford to buy educational tools/computers and basic handicap supplies to teach/train these children. I, from Del Mar Solana Beach Rotary (D-5340), California personally visited the school in November 2017 and also the President of local rotary club of Madras South (D-3232). We both saw the need to provide immediate support. Photos of the typical class room is uploaded in the documents.
