This school does not charge any fee from the students for the care the students receive during their stay at the school. The school was founded in 2008 by a family who donated a building with a large yard to be used for the education and care of disabled and autistic children of the local area.
Since the school totally relies on donation from only one family the school lacks in resources to treat the students effectively.
There is no car, van or any kind of vehicle for the school. There is no refrigerator or any air-conditioning in the school building although the temperature goes up to more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit in summer.
The school does not have any funds to buy any television or any other audiovisual equipment or a computer which are really essential for the training of students.
The school’s teachers need basic and advanced training to handle disabled and autistic children immediately. In order to maintain minimum standard, the school needs the following:
- A mini van
- Refrigerators
- Air Cooler or Air-conditioning equipment for the building
- Sewing machines
- Embroidery Equipment
- Still Camera
- Video Camera
- Solar Panels
- Playground Equipment
- Toys
- Learning Toys
- Computers and Monitors
- Teaching Materials used for special need students
- Furniture for the school (chair, desks, book shelves, cabinets)
- Crockery
- Medical Supplies
- Physical Therapy Equipment
- Emergency generators
