Abdul is 6 years old.  He lives with his mother in a remote village deep in the bush.  Abdul was born with a hearing impairment and had never attended school.

Abdul was been assessed as needing a specialist education provided by teachers who can help him learn to communicate. He was offered a place at Rahaleo Deaf School but his mother could not afford the 66p a day transport he needed to get him there and back.

December 2020

In December 2020 we appealed for help and within days had received enough donations to pay for Adbul's transport to school for an entire year - what an incredible response.

Just a few week's later Abdul started school for the first time and the transformation since then has been incredible.  He has only been at school for two weeks and has already learnt basic sign language which helps him communicate with his teacher and peers.  He is more confident and now playing with other children in a way that he never has before.

January 2021

We caught up with Abdul and his mother in January 2021 to find out how he was getting on.  Abdul is thriving now that he is an environment where he has the right support to learn.  He is reading and writing at the same level as his peers and has his confidence has blossomed thanks to learning sign language.

His mother told us 'Abdul is excited to go to school every morning - he is dressed in his uniform long before the bus journey.  Even during holidays he was always asking when the school will be opened again'.   life has been transformed thanks to EdUKaid donors.
