Urgent Appeal Letter For Funding for KWO’s Early Childhood and Special Education Lunch Program

Posted on by
As of April 2019, KWO will no longer receive support for the lunch programme provided through our Early Childhood Education project and Special Education project.
KWO does not want to cut the lunch programme. Now more than ever, the vulnerable in the camps, need our support.
“Our project promote Inclusive Education, conducts play sessions and home visits and supports the families of the disabled, including very young children with disabilities. Children with disabilities are especially vulnerable to malnutrition. Currently, 320 children with disabilities benefit from these daily lunches. While our Early Childhood Education project, provides 1,792 Nursery Children from 2 to 5 years old with a daily nutritious meal. We have similar concerns about the health and development of all children.”

Sponsor a teacher : For one dollar a day!

For one dollar a day Every child is entitled to an education and to live as full a life as possible. Refugee children with, or without, disabilities deserve the same. Indigenous Karen people from Burma have lived as refugees in camps in Thailand for a long time. We formed the Karen Women’s Organization to strengthen and serve our community. There were no Special Education services in our homeland, nor in the refugee camps. Children with disability were at home, often sitting in a dark corner, and their parents had no support. So we organized ourselves and built a project to provide services and support to children with special needs. We trained refugee women to work with our disabled children and to support parents. We raised money. And we have changed lives. Tragically, our financial support has been severely reduced as other refugee crises have pulled resources.
