Report
With this project, we aim to provide the teachers at a School in India with Physiotherapy equipment, PT assistant/aide training, as well as Emergency First Aid training. Its costs this project $400 to provide skills training for one worker. In addition to capacity building of the staff through training and providing education to individuals, improved quality of care at the school will help prevent further physical deterioration of the children and by funding equipment, we can create a lasting impact as this could increase the capacity that the school can handle for therapy and allow them to continue the work for years to come.
