Southern Handicapped Association (SHA), a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and empowering individuals with disabilities in the Southern Region and we believe that your company's support can make a significant impact.

SHA has been created in the year 1985 and since then we cater free of costs for people with disabilities. Currently we have around 100 learners aged 2 years till 20+ FREE OF COSTS. 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.

We have been actively engaged in various initiatives that aim to address the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities. Some of our activities include:

• Education and Skill Development: We strive to improve educational opportunities for disabled individuals by offering specialized learning programs, assistive technologies, and field trip. Our skill development programme equips them with valuable vocational skills, enhancing their chances of gainful employment
• Rehabilitation and Habilitation: We provide physiotherapy, occupational therapy, doctor consultation and psychological support to all students and parents in need. These are done in school or home visits as well.
• Accessibility and Infrastructure: We work towards creating an inclusive environment by advocating for accessible infrastructure, such as wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, and sensory-friendly spaces. We also collaborate with local authorities to ensure proper implementation of disability-friendly regulations.
• Community Engagement: Our organization organizes awareness campaigns, community events, and sports activities that encourage people to embrace diversity and promote social inclusion. These events foster empathy, understanding, and a sense of belonging among individuals with disabilities

We are obtaining several admissions 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 which are attached.

While we have achieved significant milestones in our journey, our ability to expand our reach and impact is reliant on the support of compassionate partners like your organization

The aim of this Fund Raising is to have funds to build the 1st floor which will be used for educational purposes, rehabilitation and training unit
