LaValla School

Description

LaValla is the only school in Cambodia offering a full primary education to children and young people with a physical disability. The majority of students attending LaValla are years behind in their education due to neglect in their villages and denied access to education. This ministry incorporates principles and values of nonviolence into education and care programs for children and young people with disabilities, creating a safe and inclusive environment, promoting staff modeling of nonviolence, using inclusive language and practices, and empowering children and young people with disabilities to participate and lead in activities. Collaboration with other organizations and NGOs and providing self-care and mental health resources for children and young people with disabilities further support promoting nonviolence and reducing the risk of violence and abuse.
