Since around four years, NUDOR has been building partnership with different organizations that have contributed to the great achievements in terms for advocacy for the rights and dignity of persons with disabilities. For instance, NUDOR has been implementing a project on education in partnership with MYRIGHT, its Swedish partner organization and DPOD, its Danish sister organization.
Under that partnership, much has been done in advocating for the right to education for children with disabilities. However, much needed to be done to address the barriers that still hamper the education of the children with disabilities.
It is in this framework in partnership with DPOD and Danish Scout Association DPOD, NUDOR is implementing a project entitled ‘ Education for All’. The project is being implemented in five districts and will target five selected schools: Groupe Scolaire Burema in Nyarugenge District, Rukingu Primary School in Rusiga Sector in Rulindo District, Groupe Scolaire Ruhango Catholique in Ruhango Sector in Ruhango District, Groupe Scolaire Rwisirabo in Nyagatare District, Muramba B Primary School in Ngororero District.
