The Program:
While not a sponsorship organization per se, ADSoN is helping 80 students with disabilities who were in urgent need of educational funding support. Please contact us if you are interested in sponsoring a student with disabilities.
The Projects:
Disabled Newlife Centre (DNC) and Disabled Help Centre (DHC) are residential centers that provide children with disabilities and marginalized children with a safe and health some environment within which to grow, learn and develop life-skills.
At DHC, ADSoN provides all of the educational funding costs for the 11 students that live at the center. All 11 students attend East Pole School in Kathmandu, Nepal. We also provide funds for medicines, school snacks and other needs.
ADSoN also provides educational and facilities support for children with deafness/hearing-impairment at the Purwanchal School for the Deaf in Dharan, Nepal. This school has approximately 60 students and hostel accomodations for those who require it.
Through our generous sponsors, ADSoN provides school/dorm sponsorships for 24 students. We have also provided many school improvements such as a small library, computers, kitchen equipment, sporting goods, field trips, solar lighting, earthquake repairs and more. We have funded special art and reading programs for the students.
In addition, ADSoN provides some limited funding for three smaller, rural schools for the deaf/hearing-impaired in this area with similar programs as Purwanchal.
