PROJECT 2020

 

In cooperation with the university of Bahir Dar we held in 2018 an inquiry, lead by Mrs Hana Shiferaw, about the needs of parents who have children with Special Needs. That result was a start for a new project for the coming years. Centrum International will focus on special need education for elderly students AND their parents. Students will get additional vocational training, and parents will be trained how to support their children to explore their skills now and in the future. With those skills they will have a better chance to contribute their part in social life. Board members discussed this subject during the visit in November 2019 with Education Department and others. In a memorandum of understanding Cheshire Foundation, Education Department, Parents Union Association, Social Affairs and University members in Bahirdar and Centrum International agreed on working together to create a new project. The new project is created by Ms. Rediet Mesfin Tadese and Mrs. Hana Shiferaw. The project will start in February 2020.
