We are building a Special Education Unit in Ialoveni, a small district just south of Moldova’s capital city, Chisinau. The Unit will be attached to the local mainstream school and will enable children with severe and complex physical and learning disabilities to attend the school for the first time in their lives. They will be educated alongside all the other children, and will have the opportunity to get to know them and play with them.
In addition to constructing and furnishing the unit, Lumos will train teachers and specialist support staff to ensure that the children receive high quality education and all the care and support that they need. We’ll also purchase necessary special equipment such as adapted minibuses, wheelchairs, adapted desks and chairs, sports equipment, toys and much more.
