At the Nyeri Hillstead School, a special kind of thing happens every day. In our Special Needs Unit, we see the world through the eyes of children with autism, Down syndrome, and other unique abilities. We believe every single child is a treasure, holding immense potential waiting to be unlocked.
The Jack and Emily Foundation established this unit as a sanctuary—a place where these children are not defined by their challenges, but celebrated for their strengths. Our dedicated teachers work with passion and love, adapting the curriculum to meet each child’s individual learning needs.
We have a classroom. We have committed teachers. We have a powerful vision. But our children deserve more.
To truly provide the holistic support these learners need to thrive, our resources are stretched thin. Imagine a child who cannot speak but could communicate through a special device. Imagine a child with sensory needs who could find calm and focus with the right therapy tools. Imagine a playground where every child, regardless of physical ability, can experience the joy of play.
This is not a distant dream; it is an urgent need. We are calling on you to partner with the Jack and Emily Foundation to transform our humble unit into a fully resourced Special Needs Center.
Here is what your support can provide:
- Specialized Learning Materials: Visual aids, sensory tools, and communication devices.
- A Fully Equipped Therapy Room: For essential occupational, speech, and behavioral therapy.
- An Inclusive Playground: With equipment designed for the safety and enjoyment of special needs learners.
- Comfortable, Tailored Furniture: To support the posture and comfort of the children.
By contributing, you are giving these children the tools they need to reach their full potential. You are offering families in Nyeri a beacon of hope. You are helping build a future where every child is seen, supported, and celebrated.
Join us in this noble mission. Help us build a world of opportunity for every child.
