What We Do And Get Involved
Education & Empowerment
In order to reduce the level of poverty among the children with the disability or with special needs, EDNA sets strategies to empower them by building their capacity of education as well as establishing EDNA village education center. This strategy opens doors for the children with disability to have equal employment opportunity with the others, be competent in the job market, and ensure that the children with disability have the skills and professionalism as the others.

Healthcare Service
Children with disabilities often have inadequate access to health care, nutrition and support for their well-being. As a result, they experience poorer physical and mental health outcomes compared to their peers. EDNA works to safeguard that children with disabilities and their families can access disability-inclusive health services, support and information in their communities, from early childhood through adolescence.
