FFC School

Construction of the new FFC school building is complete and the students have moved into it. Funding was provided by a group of donors in Ontario.

Mission of the FFC School:
To provide a quality education for the orphaned and special needs children living at the Families for Children (FFC) project in Podanur.

History of the School:
Beginning in 2006, Sandra Simpson, the Founder and Director of FFC, realized the project needed a small school to serve the needs of a group of about a dozen children. For various reasons, these children could not attend public school as do the majority of FFC children. The special needs of this group are primarily health issues such as being HIV positive, speech problems with repaired cleft lips, mild cerebral palsy, one with a very disfiguring congenital skin disease, one with a terminal brain disease, blindness and deafness.

Since 2006, approximately 50 other children have been admitted to our preschool and kindergarten. The majority of the original group has progressed to grade two.
