The Association Pour les Handicapés De Malherbes is a non-governmental organization (NGO) which exists since 2006 it has been registered with the Registry of Association since August 2010 and accredited with the National CSR Committee. Its accreditation Number is N/1458.

The association runs a specialised education School which was established in 2007 and a Specialised Shelter for abandoned children in 2013.

Special Need (Sen) School

The school provides special education to children between the age of 5 to 25 with intellectual impairments, Cerebral Palsy and related conditions. Many of these children have multiple disabilities and are not able to benefit from mainstream education. Teacher-student ratios are kept low so that individual attention can be given to each child. The school curriculum is modified to suit the needs of the children. There is a two-prong educational rehabilitative model that provides both academic skills as well as skills for independent living.

Pre-vocational training is also provided for selected students aged 12 and above to prepare them for future sheltered or open employment.

• Create a place where children with severe disabilities especially those with mental impairment and cerebral palsy can be placed when parents are at work.
• Making access to specialized education, therapies much easier for those children.
• Facilitate the social integration of children with multiple disabilities.
• Enhance the development of children with multiple disabilities through adapted therapies and care, music, sports, Art and Drama, craftsmanship, outing, and cooking activities.
