allAfrica.com: South Sudan: Ministry of Gender Signs Off Rajaf Project

The Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare yesterday signed a contract with Straightline International Limited for the second phase of the construction of the Rajaf School for the Blind and Deaf.

This phase of the project will entail the construction of an office block, dining hall, kitchen, washrooms, manager's house, workshops and a hall at the school. The school has been funded by the government to demonstrate its commitment to alleviate the challenges the blind and deaf South Sudanese face and to empower the persons with special needs.

The objective for the establishment of the school is to rehabilitate children with special needs in all the ten states of the Republic of South Sudan. The school will give them the equipment and learning materials which will aid their livelihood without having them to rely on others for their daily needs.

The learners in the school will be trained in agriculture, handicraft, use of Braille and white cane, simple arithmetic through the use of abacus, among other skills. When complete, the school will be of international standards.
