Description

SHA was created in the year 1985 and since then we have catered free of costs for people with

disabilities. Currently, we have around 100 learners aged 2 years to 20+. Our mission is to

enhance the lives of individuals with disabilities by providing them with essential services,

resources, and opportunities for personal growth and inclusion in society. We firmly believe

that everyone, regardless of their abilities, deserves equal access to education, healthcare,

employment, and social inclusion.

Our organization at Surinam (Riambel) caters to 60 students from five to twenty years of

age and our space is limited for more learners.

As per the regulations of the Ministry of Education, schools are required to cater for a

specific chronological age of learners (5-20 years) but when it comes to the disability sector,

the regulation completely ignores the mental age of the learners. They are forced to stay at

home after 20 years and due to lack of space, we are not able to cater fully to all students.

Furthermore, we have obtained several admissions this year and we wish to further extend

our services to a higher number of people.

In this regard, we are planning to upgrade our existing building by construction of the 1st

Floor of our school located at Coastal Road Riambel Surinam. All necessary permits have

been obtained from relevant authorities, and detailed plans as well are attached.
