Sometimes a big smile is a big achievement

Hope for Children

Hopehaven centre at the Salvation Army in Melaka provides special care for children with a wide range of disabilities such as Down's Syndrome and Autism.

With smaller classes and higher teacher-student ratios, the aim is to give these special children the attention they deserve. The centre's curriculum includes the development of social and life skills as well as basic academic teaching.

Older children and young adults attend work therapy sessions where they begin to learn about working environments. Some are able to take up employment with companies in Melaka.
