RAISING AWARENESS
To raise awareness of the issue of disability in Cambodian society and promote access to education and employment for young people with visual or hearing disabilities.
Objective
To raise awareness of the issue of disability in Cambodian society. To promote access to education and employment for young people with visual or hearing disabilities. To facilitate the integration of people with disabilities.
The Project
Krousar Thmey has always been strongly mobilized to change mentalities through awareness-raising actions, aimed at promoting the identification of children with disabilities, facilitating their access to appropriate structures and encouraging their proper integration in harmony with their peers. The increasing involvement of the Ministry of Education with the transfer of specialized schools to the Cambodian educational authorities, suggests that the awareness of the general public as well as actors of the education system and the job market may soon be undertaken by the authorities themselves. In the meantime, Krousar Thmey wants to support them in setting up an effective awareness program for the benefit of schoolchildren and the entire population with disabilities.
