| Project Description: |
School for Multiple Disabled Children Integrated Education Rehabilitation Centre for Blind / Visually Disabled |
| Location: | Croatia, Zagreb |
| Project Information: | The project Mala Kuca (= Little House) in Zagreb, Croatia, has the overall goal to address the needs of blind and multiply disabled blind children by providing therapeutical, educational, vocational and rehabilitational programs. Apart from operating a day-care centre in Zagreb, the multi-disciplinary team of Vision of Hope is extending their services for (multi) disabled children and adults to other parts of Croatia. As governmental support for the NGO is still not sufficient, CBM continues supporting running costs such as salaries, whereas since 2004 this support has been gradually reduced. In 2006 CBM started supporting the development of low vision services, whereas the focus is put on training of local low vision experts. The main problem of the partner is a severe lack of space, which limits the number of children, who can be offered services. The partner hopes to move to a new building in 2007. The municipality of Zagreb has offered in this regard an old factory building and has agreed to contribute to reconstruction costs. Reconstruction will start at the end of 2006. Once the project will have moved to the new building, the municipality seems to be willing to take on the full running costs of the project. |
