futures.
Born deaf, Srey Oun sat in a classroom for years where nobody spoke her language.
The classroom wasn't set up to include her.
Across rural Cambodia, children with disabilities face barriers to learning. But those barriers can be removed.
Your donation can help create more inclusive schools.
More children are waiting
Many children with disabilities are still missing out on education.
How the Disability Empowerment and Education Program (DEEP) works:
- identify children missing out on education working with local partners
- train teachers in inclusive teaching practices
- develop Individual Education Plans tailored to each child's needs
- improve school accessibility
Your support is already making a difference
Since we began, together we've:
- reached 5,062 children with disabilities across rural Battambang including children like Srey Oun and Bros Aun.
But many more children are still waiting.
Your support today means:
Inclusive education kits
Children can receive inclusive education kits, including accessible study materials, so they can learn with confidence alongside their peers.
Accessible schools
Schools can be made physically accessible, so children with mobility needs can safely enter their classrooms and take part each day.
Training teachers and caregivers
We can create more inclusive classrooms by training teachers, caregivers and communities to support children with disabilities.
Your donation goes further
The Disability Empowerment and Education Project (DEEP) is fully supported by the Australian Government NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
Every donation to this appeal will help us unlock additional funding from ANCP. To access this additional funding, every $1 raised will mean we receive $5 from the Australian Government.
Your gift today can help reach more children, support more teachers and create more inclusive classrooms.
