We, Darrasa, channel our focus to help children and families in the community, especially children from underprivileged families and children with special needs.
We help underprivileged families and children by giving affordable tuition for the children. We are also helping families of children with special educational needs by connecting them to therapists and get affordable therapy sessions.
In some cases, with contributions from kind donors and sponsors, Darrasa is able to give free tuition and therapy sessions to families who are really struggling financially by paying the therapists and tutors on behalf of the families.
We have more requests from families to assist them financially for therapy sessions and tuition sessions and we would like to see the children continue getting the help that they deserve.
We are looking for more funds to continue this cause. No amount will be too small in the quest to allow children to continue learning.
Darrasa's founders believe that Darrasa can be a catalyst to remind others of kindness and be an avenue for people to 'pay it forward'. All it takes is one kind act. All it takes is a helping hand. Darrasa is set up for families and students, by the 'students' of life, and with the help of other 'students' who wants to make an impact and to help.
The target is $144,000.
Below are the packages that Darrasa offers:
- SPED Support (Learning Difficulties e.g. Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADD/ADHD, ASD, Asperger's, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome) - Our Allied Educators (SPED trained tutors/therapists) will work on academic using differentiated instruction at child's level plus working on developmental domain (memory building, social communication, social interaction, attention development).
- Therapy (Speech/Occupational/Behavior) - Qualified Therapists will work with child and parents to address developmental gaps and concerns present in child to function better in different settings and contexts.
- Tutoring - Our tutors will go and teach/coach child (at the child's home) academics based on subjects that parents requested.
During the SPED Support and Therapy sessions, different equipment and materials are usually needed to work with the child effectively. Parents will be engaged too so that they will also know on how to engage and work with their child.
