Apni Taleem is an initiative of Muslim Charity and its partner organisation. It has been started to ensure protection of children to increase their interest in the children’s well-being and trust in our project objectives. We provide education and psycho-social support to prepare children for admission into regular schools. Our educational curriculum has been developed while considering the local Islamic and social values and this helps the children to integrate with the mainstream children in the schools and society.
The safeguarding and welfare of children is our project’s paramount objective. Therefore our customised information, education and communication materials on protection ensure children are trained on how to react to difficult situations and build up interpersonal relationships so that they can discuss any matters with staff or family members.
In the last two years eighty children have been enrolled in our centre and out of them fifteen have joined mainstream education. We understand that change in such a situation will not come easily, however education and social awareness may help to change the lives of some of these children. This project has reminded us about the role of charities and community organisations in providing solutions to some of the most difficult social challenges in our societies.
