Schools for the Disabled
Seeds of Hope Centre at Salam Center, a church-based organization directed by Sr. Maria in the Ezbet El-Nakhel area of Cairo, Egypt is a center that functions as a school for children with disabilities. Due to the nature of working with children with disabilities, a higher teacher to student ratio is required than in a regular school classroom. School fees also need to be higher to cover the costs of the school and (special equipment, chairs, etc.) pay staff salaries; yet, many families are not able to pay these fees. This has led to difficulty finding staff for the school as well as difficulty buying appropriate materials and equipment for the children. Global Family funds help to cover tuition fees, provide new equipment and materials, training for teachers, increased teacher salaries and to continue the bus service to children who are further from the center and in need of the educational training and care.
