  10. Malawi is a smallcountry in south-easternAfrica. Lake Malawirepresentsalmost one thirdoftheteritory. It’s the 10th poorestcountry in theworld.

  11. Fishingandfarming are mainactivitiesforsurvivalofmanyfamilies, especially in ruralareas. The lake as well as soil are almostdrained up. ThefutureofMalawianpeople is uncertain.

  12. Rolesof men andwomen in society are traditionalydivided. Womenofcoutryside are takingcareof home andfamily…

  13. … while men are breadwinners. The jobs are often tiresome, manual labour jobs and craftwork. The small income has to be enough for an average familiy of seven children.

  14. Children are thought to help with all domestic chores. After dishes are done, clothes are washed, childhood under warm sun and near the crystal lake is carefree and joyful.

  15. . • Malawianpublicschools are free-of –charge, accessible to allchildren, butclassrooms are overcrowded (ratio 80 to 100 students to one teacher)

  16. Due to toomanystudents, teacherscan not offer more attention to childrenwhocan not followthelessons. Thathasbigger negative consequencesforchildrenwithlearningdissabilities.

  17. GOALS OF ELA‘S PROJECTS: • To enrich the teaching methods in PS of children with special needs and make similar opportunities for their advancement in primary education. • To equip PS teachers with additional expertise in working with children with special needs, which could be passed on to beginners teachers. • To reduce the dropout rate of children in primary schools. • To improve the results of the final examinations/tests in rural schools in Nkhata Bay district. • Raise awareness among parents and the wider community about the problems that children with special needs have and ways to overcome these problems. • To ran literacy courses for women in the villages and other programs to assist them. • To ran art workshops, promote local culture, organise concerts

  18. Since August 2011 ELA org. has been running various workshops for 342 pupils of rural primary school SEKA in Nkhata Bay district. Program for children with special needs has been created and implemented to support existing curriculum.

  19. Pupils of SEKA school do not have sufficient school material to be able to study properly, they even write in the sand of the floor, not having pens, pencils and notebooks. ELA organisation donated school supplies for all 340 of them.

  20. Since January 2012 ELA org. has been feeding 340 children of SEKA school. To daily feed 1 child for 1 month we need only 1 Euro! Before feeding program supported by ELA org. children did not visit school, because they have been too hungry to do so. Now they come to school on daily basis because they know there will be morning meal for them all.

  21. We have completed our EDUCATIONAL CENTRE which is used as: • Educational day centre for nursery, primary and secondary children, • Place for additional study help for children with special needs, • Educational centre for teachers, • Educational centre for adults • Accommodation for volunteers
