  1. ELA organisation:CULTURAL AND EDUCATIONAL CENTRE and LONGTERM PROJECT FOR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Malawi, South-eastern Africa

  2. In 2011 a project  Building a Cultural &Educational Centre with program for children with special needs in primary schoolshas started.

  3. Most African countries have already  introduced generalprimary, free-of-charge  education for the children, but: • classrooms are overcrowded, pupil to teacher ratio in rural schools is roughly 60-100 to 1 • teachers cannot work with pupils individually which is especially tough on children with special needs who do not follow the lectures and do not meet the required standards of knowledge.

  4. Although primary education is available, a great portionof pupils do not benefit from it, as the education theyget is weak. • That fact diminishes their chances to enter good secondary school and later find a descent job. • Therefore their and their family’s future is destined to poverty.

  5. Our goals are: • to provide learning aid classes and help to children with learning disabilities(problems with concentration, difficulties with fine motor skills, dyslexia …) so they have a better chance at successfully finishing primary school and have better future. •  to provide lectures and workshops for teachers (introducing child-oriented teaching system, alternative methods on working with children with special needs) • to diminish dropping out rate from primary education.

  6. Our activities: • Daily workshops conducted by educated volunteers (students from teachers colleague, special needs graduates) to school teachers and pupils. • Study help for children with special needs will be offered in the new Educational centre and in primary school classes. • Extra curriculum activities and workshops for children and youth will be offered in the new Educational centre.

  7. Financial structure (2012-2013) Finishing of the centre andbasic equipement: 8.000 EUR • Solar pannels, • installation of water and electricity, • toilet blocks, • Inside furniture Yearly cost of running infrastructure project andprograme: 8000 € • Administration, • Salaries (night watchman ,translators and project leaders, food for volunteers) • Workshop material, special needs aid accessories…
